We're in limbo at the moment as BBC changeover and will remain so until
iPlayer comes out of beta.

Some Listen Again menus are old format (e.g. World Service), some are
both (e.g. Radio 3 & 4) and some are only iPlayer (e.g. Radio 1 &2 )
and so for the moment AlienBBC has to reflect the BBC menus.

The BBC may offer an API which would be the best option but it isn't
there yet so to restore lost menu - I did a least effort solution.  

I have some thoughts about improving the addon (e.g. change programs
with episodes into a top level "mist recent" and  a lower level with
all episodes).  Do some editring on Title to remove excess (e.g. date)
and where to use "description" text.  Also it is feasible to get the
icons for display on Web / SBC when playing.  

However I don't know if it is worth the effort as BBC will be making
more underlying changes to support new audio formats. It really depends
on how often BBC changes format and this version of iPlayer is marked
"Beta" although you have no choice if you are a R1 or R2 listener.

So for the moment, my aim was to restore "lost" functionality even
though the menu layout is rough.

BTW:

The Addon are standard menus and so can be moved around so you can
promote them to top level.
