    Thank you all I'm on my old computer and can only manage to listen again to my favourate show (radio kent).
    I.player is no longer supported
    Which operating system/ browser is your old computer using?

    According to this, you may not be able to use iPlayer with Internet Explorer 8, which, if you're using Windows XP, means you won't be able to use Internet Explorer with iPlayer Radio.

    But you should be able to download a more recent version of the Firefox or Chrome browser instead and I think should then have better luck with iPlayer?

    Well I'm listening again to a show from last night where callers listen from all over the world via the w.w.w.
    I've tried the links above (thanks) but they do not load so I think you may be onto something Jivesinger as my chrome is probably out of date, just like me and this poor old box.
    I will have to kidnap my son and ask him to do some updates.
    Thank you again everyone for being so kind.

    Yet another BBC switcheroo for no known purpose except to exclude those on older equipment and slow broadband or 3g?

    The BBC really does seem to be designed for media luvvies that get their iPhone 6s and 4G on expense accounts.

    Another nudge towards scrapping the universal TV license then.
