Ah.  It turns out I'd never been to the IPlayer homepage before.  After
reading the above I made a guess at its URL (presumably it's also linked
from somewhere):

  http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/

What I had done is start listening to a program from places like the
Radio 4 website, which causes IPlayer to appear, and then clicked on the
'home' button on the IPlayer.  This takes you somewhere different:

  http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/

I had no reason to think that wasn't the IPlayer home until reading your
message, which clearly didn't match what I was seeing.  Thanks.
