Am I the only one to see this image, "click to play", when watching videos at
BBC News?

Earlier, some months ago, I had no problems with the videos at the BBC News site, or the “BBC Media Playerâ€-flash thing. Since I live outside the UK, I know next to nothing about the BBC iPlayer, or all the discussions that have surrounded that one, but in this case I'm talking about the embedded videos at their news site, that only needs Flash Player.
Some videos started as soon as you launched the page, others you had to start yourself, either by clicking on the image "click to play" or on the play button. But now I see that little image in all videos, quite annoying if the video start by itself and you have to click on it only to get rid of it. This started when BBC redesigned their site some month ago.
I guess it's my fault, or me and my browser, as usual... But I've tried without add-ons, that didn't change a thing. Well that’s not completely true, the video didn't load completely without add-ons,

I saw that little circle (buffering) during the play, so I had to enable the add-ons to get a good screen shot (to avoid a little discussion about videos buffering etc.).

Oh well.

my comments about the BBC News site; some month ago the Swedish national public radio redesigned their news site, and boy did that one get clunky. Here we have users that triple or quadruple their Internet speed, upgrade their RAM etc., and what do they get? Redesigned sites that put them back to square one.
