[peel] Re: Desert Island Discs

[John Gray]

OK, I am pretty baffled by this!  I dare say I can work out what I need to do to use get_iplayer - but how does it help?  Both the BBC iplayer and the Desert Island Discs Archive are easy enough to use; this doesn't give me access to any other shows, or more complete versions of shows,does it?  Or am I missing something?
