The BBC have a great new Web site – BBC Programme Support (more info from Tom Scott of the BBC). This is especially good for Web nerds like me, but it will help make link-centric television work for Real Human Beings, too.
There are a few quirks in how things are listed right now but I'm sure they'll shake out in due course. What's great about this service is that the Beeb is committing to long-term, stable URIs for their programmes, with a single, clear link for each show, irrespective of how and when it is shown or repeated.

I've been using pogdesign's Calendar for TV for some time. It covers many series I watch, and makes it easy to remember what I should be recording or borrowing from a friend.
It used to be full of swanky, fragile Web 2.0 AJAX goodness. Thankfully, they've just overhauled things. It's now a staunch database-backed site, storing a user's information in a database, not their cookies.
I was a fan before, despite the technology choices. I'm a much bigger fan now.
And with the new iCal feed of what you want to watch, I'll be able to automate more of the recordings, which is fab.
