With flash installed:

"Flash is not installed or enabled

If you would prefer not to use the HTML5 Player on this device you must
download or enable Flash."

Shockwave Flash

    File: libflashplayer.so
    Path: /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so
    Version: 24.0.0.221
    State: Enabled

So my flash is up to date - BBC doesn't understand linux flash. But if I
reload the page w/flash enabled the video plays using flash.

If I kill flash and leave HTML5 (WebM) enabled:

"You are opted in to using the HTML5 player by default, but you can
choose to use the Flash Player instead by opting out:
Opt out of the HTML5 Player"

And of course the video plays using HTML5.

o/t: I find it interesting that BBC uses the Caillou Theme song for the
video...

I hope that they paid royalties to the author.
