Hello to all,

I just browsed the BBC Listen Again page of the BBC Radio 4 Afternoon Play
and found a commedy which I would like to listen to very much. It's called
"Love Contract", was broadcast last Wednesday and will be available until
5th November. However, the listening doesn't seem to work out since the
stream is embedded in a Macromedia Flash film. If I go to the link:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/radio/bbc_radio_four/drama

and then click on "Play audio - Afternoon Play - Love Contract", I can
navigate to the Macromedia Flash film start. However, clicking the button
"Click to play" doesn't work, nothing happens. I have Adobe Flashplayer
version 10 installed. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could get the
flash player to play the stream of this afternoon play? If not, are there
any other, more accessible possibilities to listen again to BBC shows one
missed?

By the way: I also installed the Webbie programme "BBC Listen Again", but can't find the BBC Afternoon Play shows in there. Can anyone help? Like I said, this play really interests me, so it would be a pitty if I missed it only due to accessibility problems!

Thank you very much for your help in advance.

Regards,

Annika

Click the pop out button, but be aware that the page might freeze for a period of 15-20 seconds. I read something about thaqt the other day and it isn't our machines that are the problem. The BBC basically made a few minor scripting errors when creating these pages. Just hit Alt Y for yes, should JAWS prompt you to answer yes or no to running the faulty script.
