After much tearing out of hair (and I can't afford to lose much more) I have resolved my issue starting new programmes on BBCiPlayer. This had been getting steadily worse, and had finally reached the stage where the connections were failing completely - and my head was firmly on the line (no Archers!).
As a last resort, I compared the network config on my main PC with the config on the laptop I use for LMS. The culprit, as it turned out, was Wireshark (installed several weeks ago), which had installed NPCAP and associated NPCAP Loopback Adapter in to my network config. Much Googling of NPCAP found zillions of postings complaining of issues caused by NPCAP. An uninstall of NPCAP and much rebooting of devices and I've gone back from zero to hero. I suspect that a network expert would have known about this, and probably would never have installed it at all, but for those of us of a less technical bent this may prove a useful piece of information.
