....clearly the Beeb are having trouble implementing HTML5 on their current
programmes.

Yes theirs is about the only video that has a "way up" on my tablet so you have to physically rotate it if (as I usually to keep the charger socket clear) it is the other way up or portrait.

Their flash is working again today, in the last few days the embedded
players have been playing hide and seek with browsers and lists of radio
programs had been very slow to appear, but that too now seems to work again.
If everyone could actually get together in broadcasting and use the same
standards it would be amazing.

That was one of the reasons they moved to MPEG DASH HTML5.
Which has been running for some time now.

So far as I know, they've just continued allowing some stream types to
still be accessible via flash.

However MPEG DASH HTML5 works. I've been using it for some time.
