The BBC News Web Page. Top quality… or… not

I see this morning they’re plugging how wonderful the new video embedded in the BBC News page is. Two problems:

1) About 1/3 of the content can’t be viewed outside the UK, yet a still image with a message telling you you can’t look at it is included, even in the “International” page. They might has well put “So nya-nya-nya-naanaa” after.

2) The page with some examples on, telling you how great it all is… well. It doesn’t work. All but the Top Gear video just have a still picture with “Sorry this content isn’t available at the moment” on.

Top notch.

[EDIT – Around 8 hours later and it’s finally working… and been laid out differently]
