My Firefox 31.7.0 seems perfectly happy with the certificate for that
site, but how much that depends on my having separately installed some
newer certificate authority keys or suchlike I've no idea. It may be
that you can just trust the extra keys but keep your older software.

Quite. I'd be happy to have to provide my television licence number or
somesuch to get that key. Unfortunately, I suspect that the BBC,
especially in wanting to manage customer experience and branding and
suchlike, are rather keen to control /how/ users reach their content
(i.e. preferably through their not-great website), as well as who gets
to see what in the end. There's an awkward tension between the public
service mission and the more corporate / commercial view.

Incidentally, I've now found that there is tons of Radio 4's "In Our
Time" available for download. It's great to be able to save these as an
m4a file for playing in the car on my daily commute.
