It was happening on an older XBMC version, installed 9.11 today with the newest iPlayer plugin and still happening.
Any ideas?

Quick summary:
BBC implemented SWF verification on the streams, which broke the plugin.
We all went ballistic and spammed Auntie and the Auntie Trust.
Some clever people worked out how to workaround the issue using get_iplayer.
Some other people patched XBMC builds with 'hookey' hashing codes, so there are two workarounds.
The dev behind get_iplayer pulled it.
XBMC web site crashed spectacularly.
Errr, that's it.
