Hello.  Been quite a long time since I actually posted on this list, so
sorry for this slightly bug report focused post.

I have had some really weird bugs with iPlayer lately.  A few days ago, I
went to http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/categories/comedy/tv , clicked on "Most
Recent", and found myself in the welsh version of the site. Thinking
something weird was happening, I tried again, checked the address (the
address changed to the address for the welsh site, so I think it was the
link pointing me to the wrong place), and then tried on my laptop, which
worked fine (and again on my desktop, which was still broken).

Today I went to do the same thing for the Factual category, and instead of
getting a list of programs, I was shown a 1x180px black image, with the
correct address for the list of programmes in the address bar.  I am fairly
sure I have had this happen in the past as well.

These do seem like the kind of bugs that are incredibly difficult to track
down, and have both fixed themselves fairly quickly.  Any suggestions on
what could be causing them? I am assuming some caching somewhere is
breaking, but would be interesting to know of any other potential causes.

On a slightly more positive note, the iPlayer really is a fantastic service,
so thanks for that.

Thanks,
Duncan
