The BBC's plans to make all of its programming available to people beyond the original broadcast is leading to what looks like the complete re-engineering of the BBC, said Tony Ageh the BBC's internet controller on Thursday.
Ageh outlined how the BBC is collecting metadata as content is being created, so that all aspects of the programme - from scripts to individual scenes - will be 'findable' by an online audience.
The original broadcast had about 1 million views on the night but unknown to the BBC is was picked up by bittorrent and other peer-to-peer sites and within days it has been seen and 'engaged with' by three times as many people.

The group said they took the action after their complaints to a watchdog - that the service being devised by the BBC was not distinctive and complementary to existing provision - were not acted on by the government.
Following a panel, the corporation’s internet controller Tony Ageh told me the tie-up was pulling in “maybe 80,000 a day, about 250,000 by now, something like that”, but it was too soon to identify the most popular of the site’s three new channels.
The BBC Trust, which regulates the corporation, provisionally approved the BBC’s iPlayer on-demand TV plans in January - but ordered a number of modifications to ensure the player’s DRM would not be limited to Windows as planned and to safeguard against the publicly-funded broadcaster’s new service disrupted the commercial media space.

The DG told staff working on the iPlayer “In many ways, this is the most important thing we’re doing at the BBC”; but also commented that the current BBC structe could cause problems for a service that demands interplay between different media.
What interested me the most though was the fact that iPlayer project director Tony Ageh told people to “learn to love magenta”, apparently refering to the colour associated with the iPlayer brand.
He also suggested that the iPlayer will be ready for launch by Spring 2007 after going through public value tests.

 Wired UK employees (Phil Gyford: Writing)
I came to London from Boulder, Colorado where I had met Tony Ageh and Alan Rusbridger who were visiting the Knight-Ridder Newspaper information design lab where I worked.
I told them I was moving to the UK and wanted a job, and whatdya know - they offered me one at the Guardian working for Tony's special projects group.
Then along came Wired, and I think Tony put me on that staff because I could use words like “email” and “browser” and “mozilla” in a sentence.
