Anyway, I hope people find it useful! With the help of a JavaScript tutorial I have modified the bookmarklet code given above to make a bookmarklet that switches between the iPlayer page for a programme and its /programmes page:

javascript:var m=/http:\/\/(www.)?(bbc.co.uk\/iplayer\/episode|bbc.co.uk\/programmes)\/([0-9a-z]{8})/.exec(location.href);if(m[2]==’bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode’){location.href=’http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/’+m[3];} if(m[2]==’bbc.co.uk/programmes’){location.href=’http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/’+m[3]+’/';}

It seems to work pretty well, but as I’m not very familiar with JS and regular expressions its possible that there might be a mistake somewhere in there. Anyway, I hope people find it useful!

MusicBrainz seems to offer some very rich data - discogs of course, but also related artists. Wasn't aware. Although a comment on Matther Shorter's post suggests that the related artists come from Last.fm. Great work, I look forward to seeing it launch. The next step is a really nice, navigable user interface to allow quick, fun browsing of artist info while listening to a particular show (not that this interface isn't nice! I just mean minimal page refreshes). Are you considering other types of external data/links such as recent blog posts about the artist?
