At a glance, robots.txt doesn't seem to disallow accessing the sections needed.

If I'm downloading pages automatically and automatically reading certain sections of the HTML, is that viewing it as supplied to me by the BBC?
I'm no lawyer, but on the face of it I would say we're clear. "as supplied to you by the BBC" says to me that it mustn't be modified, not that it mustn't be stored.
