    It might be because iplayer uses flash which iphones aren't equiped to do

    Should work fine as it works on my iTouch although I hate Apple and the Touch, it was an impulse by :)

    Have you tried rebooting? When you click player does the bit in the centre spin for a bit like it's thinking? On my WIFI it does this as it's streaming the first minute or so before it starts.

    Have you tried rebooting the phone? I had to do that the other day on the iTouch because it wasn't playing the iPlayer shows.

    Works on Wifi. Works on 3G only if you're with Vodafone or 3.

    Same happens on the iTouch sometimes. Just hold down the power button and it will ask you (I assume the iPhone is the same) to slide if you want to shut down. Do it, then turn it back on again after a few seconds.
