listings for BBC Radio 4 Extra ?

Just wondering if others can recommend listing websites because the BBC Online service has broken down (at least some of the pages, such as the schedules for Radio 4, Radio 4 Extra and the weekly schedule page for R4 Extra is unavailable too). I had different error messages depending on browser, and which PC i was using... things like 'compressed in a non-standard way' (!!!) to 'possibly moved'

I was looking for www.bbc.co.uk/radio4extra/programmes/schedules
and would be interested in whether it loads for you (or my ISP has made a bodged copy and that's why I am getting errors) or whether you have alternative sites which are working OK.

Of course, few alternative sites will include links to the audio for iPlayer to allow me to listen to specific shows (which was what I wanted to do).

TIA for any useful links....

It did come back later. After commenting on MN, I filled in their 'website technical fault' form and gave them links that failed for R4 and R4 Extra but said that /radio4 and /radio4extra home pages were OK.

I guess the remainder are under control of iPlayer team (since so many links are to /programmes... and then there is a maze of links from individual shows in a series to audio and back to the 'series' home page...

I managed to hear the News Quiz Extra from 2 weeks (or was it 1) ago - one date shown in one place and a different one shown on next page, as if they don't know what they're doing!

Radio Times has listings - Radio 4 Extra - no iplayer link though.

Noticed that Bleb.org didn't have Radio4Xtra as an option, so may be trouble extracting that data.

Would the Iplayer: BBC 4 Extra - Today listing not be sufficent - at least when the BBC website is running correctly.
