    Have found that it stutters every few seconds and won't play smoothly for the last 3 or 4 days. Anyone had/having similar problems?

    Have heard a rumour that some ISPs are slowing down connections to iplayer to save bandwidth. Any truth in this?

    Have you tried downloading the programme before viewing it?
