Welcome to the BBC iPlayer Labs
The BBC iPlayer Labs is where you get to play with new ideas and features that we're working on. Based on your feedback these ideas will either graduate and make it into the main BBC iPlayer experience or go back to the drawing board for a rethink.

Programme recommendations
Our new recommendation system keeps a note of BBC iPlayer programmes that you watch or listen to and offers you recommendations based on a blend of what it thinks you like and what other people who have played this programme also like. The recommendation system needs quite a few people using it before it starts offering optimal recommendations, so you may see odd recommendations in the initial week or two after it goes live in Labs.
