check that the URL really works(!).

Most versions of get_flash_videos report version 1.25.
The current version displays a plugin version or 0.00 if version not set.

For Pbs.pm the version is 0.01, this had been updated recently, and depends
on new routines so can't just be downloaded by itself.

Restricted by region, so I can't look at it.

The sherlock season 3, was available with BBC Iplayer, time has expired,
again restricted by region.

When I tried a browser gave region restricted, response 403 is I think due
to the region restirction, can't be sure.
