Has anyone written a BBC agent? All BBC shows which have been downloaded via get\_iplayer contain their PID and this can be looked up at [www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/[pid]](http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/%5Bpid%5D) to get machine-readable thumbnails and summaries.

If nobody has, is there a sandbox for testing new agents?
