Is anyone else having a problem accessing BBC i-player? When I try to go to view a past programme, the i-player screen comes up then it just buffers, no programme starts. Tiny error messages appear to flash up and go away before they can be read. Is it just us?

Just clicked to watch Wonders of the Commonwealth, started without issue for me.
The BBC is having problems with a number of its online services:

Their main "Homepage" was showing a temporary version for almost all the weekend but I think that's been fixed now.

Thanks all - especially NJ for that link. Looks like it's not just me then - but disappointed that I may miss two catch-ups which run out tonight :-(

It's working again - thanks for your help.
here is if you live outside the UK... it doesn't want to play at all.
The BBC Iplayer Radio bit is not working yet - if you try it all you get is a blank screen!
I couldn't get radio i-player to work yesterday but it was fine today
Loadsof problems with iplayer over the last few days - especially on Saturday when I was trying to download programmes to take away with me. The service was very intermittent if it worked at all.
