My BBC Programme Calendar to iCal mashup, which converts BBC program data to iCal, works seamlessly with Outlook 2007. Users can easily import program schedules by navigating to their account settings, clicking the internet calendars tab, clicking "new", and entering the URL of the desired program. For example football fans can import the data for the footie http://www.kinlan.co.uk/bbc/football.

I've created a tool that converts BBC program listings into iCal format, allowing you to subscribe to a calendar of your favorite shows. Just add the program keyword to the end of "http://www.kinlan.co.uk/bbc/" (e.g., "http://www.kinlan.co.uk/bbc/breakfast") to get the iCal feed. You can then add this feed to Google Calendar, MS Outlook, or other calendar applications to stay updated on program schedules. I'm still developing this, so feedback and suggestions are welcome!
