Why, with all their resources and innovation, must the BBC use that crummy flash movie widget? All I ask is for a little preloading. Just a little.

For those who are interested, that's Scaroth, last of the Jaggeroth. He appeared in the story, "City of Death", written by Douglas Adams. Featured a cameo by John Cleese, too.
