A search for BBC is showing pages that appear to have session ids appearing in the SERPs. Any SEO implications?

Typically, session IDs are used for tracking a single visitor's navigation path through the site. This method of prolonging the session should preferably not be used.
On PHP.net, for example, it is noted that
"URL based session management has additional security risks compared to cookie based session management. Users may send a URL that contains an active session ID to their friends by email or users may save a URL that contains a session ID to their bookmarks and access your site with the same session ID always, for example. (www.php.net/session)."
Note sure what BBC is trying to do here.

Well you found the site/page didn't you? - obviously no implications at all ;)
