Here's one of the screenshots from the BBC iPlayer. You can get the image for any of the shows featured there by modifying the address below with the correct item code in the filename. In this case it's 'b00n15l8', but when you click on any other show that number will be different and should be changed accordingly.

I realise this info won't be of much use to most people, but it's handy all the same.

Iplayer have now got a new picture dump. Most of the old ones still work (see above), but for new stuff, this is the address. Note, you can change the 832_468 part to 640_360 if you want
