The BBC videos are playing for me as well- on both my intel & ppc os10.4.9

Do the BBC vids, play in a test or other user account?
If you don't have an other user account create a fresh test account.
Under the Blue Apple -> System Preferences /Accounts/ Login Options
Click on padlock to unlock secure Items,
Click the [+] to create the account, for ease you could enter test in all the fields, as you may know, the short name will be generated for you.
If you'ld like to utilize "Fast switcher', {so you don't have to log in & out] click on Login Options, and follow through,
Helps to know if this is system wide or isolated to your user name account.
Please keep us posted
