Thanks, Andrew. All the more useful now the R3 site has dropped all the schedules before last November.

... the R3 site has dropped all the schedules before last November.

I'm not sure that they've dropped everything: schedules appear to be available in this form of address, to at least 2008:

I didn't test the daily schedule - I wanted the weekly grid view, and that seems to have disappeared.

I see - the last date which isn't completely blank seems to be 21st November 2013.

I suspect that it's a bug: if you add '.xml' to the end of the webpage address (without quotes), for that week and earlier weeks, programme information does appear, albeit in user-unfriendly xml format, which implies that the indexing is working in some form. It might be worth emailing Radio 3 to point this out.

If that fails, it might be possible to produce a bespoke html file which takes the xml file and displays it in a browser.

I keep losing the link ref for complaining about the website. The only link I have gives the 'Not Found' message. There used to be one that took you through endless menus (a bit like phoning big companies and having to keep choosing different options).

There was a problem with the Radio 4 Extra achedules last week - I just emailed the general R4X email address, which worked - they contacted the web people for me

But there doesn't appear to be a similar address for Radio 3!

I'll have a go - I'll email radio3@bbc.co.uk and see what happens .......

Edit: Email sent and it hasn't bounced yet .....

[french frank]

Thanks, Andrew. There used to be a form you could fill in specifically for website errors, where you had to copy the actual page link. It always was hard to find!

[Andrew Slater]

No reply so far, and no corrections apparently made. I'll have a dig around to see if I can find the complaints page .....
