Work-around: use https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p05tl7t3 This is just a clip from Newsnight: is it actually geo-restricted? The original problem page has a Morph-style hydration JS which should have been handled by `BBCIE`...

The `p05tl7t3` is a BBC programme ID (PID). The [technical guys (they were, in this case) at the BBC set up a proper system of (in principle) non-decaying URLs](https://smethur.st/posts/176135860), so...
