Aunty Beeb's a fibber then
She's told me, when I asked, they don't have the resources to do a Linux version of iPlayer, yet from this article they clearly have in-house Linux skills. Liar, liar, knickers on fire, Aunty!
Ah well, I'll just keep on using get-iplayer (which I know Aunty Beeb doesn;t like) until Aunty Beeb decides to pull her finger out and create a proper iPlayer for us Linux users, then!
