Grumbling about the iPlayer

Just a little grumble about the BBC iPlayer interface. Now that it's Flash streaming (well done!) I can actually use it.

But can't I just have a list? I know it's supposed to be TV on the web but if I want to watch something I missed last night I just want to scan a list and click on it. I don't want promo images of the programme and I sure don't want to have to click through grids of images.

And URLs?

That's not good is it? Lucky we've got /programmes, maybe they'll do something with iPlayer content.

UPDATE - Well, looks like they've embedded them already (and on the day after the Christmas party). Go team!
