Bit of a heads-up if you're linking to iPlayer content, as you did for the Anthony Rose segment from Points of View.
You're going to have two issues with this - one immediate and the other within 7 days (or less) of posting.
The immediate issue is that international readers of the blog will not be able to see what you're referring to as the iPlayer content is blocked to non-UK readers.
The second issue is that once the content goes outside the 7-day IPlayer window it no longer is accessible to anyone.
This makes your blog postings subject to restricted audiences and decay - which undermines the value of them.
One quick solution is to get the segment you refer to up on the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Worldwide channel on YouTube and link to that.
This is going to be an issue across the various ´óÏó´«Ã½ blogs, so it may be worth dealing with it now before it becomes a bigger issue.
HTH

BTW, thanks for sorting out the blog commenting ´óÏó´«Ã½ ... now we just need an "Edit" function.
