Redirects

Note that the canonical BBC composer URLs such as http://bbc.co.uk/tchaikovsky redirect to pages whose URLs use a BBC Programme Identifier (PID), such as https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01nbg53

Linking to the former type is preferable; see talk page for a list of URLs supplied by the BBC.
