Crap them they did.

The BBC bet their house on Flash. Their entire internet video delivery strategy relied on it. Not only the iPlayer and the various mobile apps but also the interface in what has become YouView the common IPTV platform they helped develop.

Much back peddling and redevelopment had to be done and is still going on now. All on the licence payers dime.

The BBC moving to HTML5 Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Good one.

We'll all be on HTML7 before that happens.

'Passion' is the most abused word. Don't tell people you are passionate - show them!!! I stare wordlessly at people who misuse the word passion for an inappropriate amount of time. Very quickly they realise what they have done wrong. Actually it works for all of the abused words. Innovation, solutions, synergy etc. Try it, it's fun.
