Is there a mirror for the video? I can't be bothered to give the website enough permissions to work currectly.
Side note, go install uMatrix and be awestruck by how much crap modern websites load from external sources to function correctly.
And here is a mirror to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyhWf4YCpXA
I was using uMatrix in the past, but I thought the author said it was discontinued and he won't maintain it anymore.
It is unmaintained, but still works fine.
Thanks! I clicked on 2 ads trying to get the video to work on the BBC page
Ads? I thought the BBC had no ads.
I only had to click twice to get the video two play. One click ok the link and that one on the play button and it started playing immediately.
Users outside the UK will see ads on BBC News. If you ever go abroad and visit BBC News it's quite a different experience.
I am not from the UK.
I do have an adblocker though. I tried disabling it after the user said that there were ads but I didn't see any difference.
