I've just tried to play Casualty from the iPlayer site as a test.  I was
asked to register with a DOB, Postcode, Email address and gender
identification so changes have already happened.  The subsequent
playback though was terrible.  I could hear the audio OK but the video
was more a sequence of still images changing every few seconds.  Not
watchable at all.
