Want an easy way to pass around a long and hard-to-remember URL for a BBC programme?
As of six months ago, and apparently unadvertised, the BBC started providing QR codes for every page in their /programmes section – just add /qrcode to any existing /programmes link.
The page for recent episodes of Doctor Who is http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006q2x0 and so the QR code is available on http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006q2x0/qrcode – the same holds true for individual episodes.
Members of the Future Media and Technology group have blogged about it here and here.
