Checked in May 2019. (So far I have checked items 1-7 but I'll continue checking and updating later:)
PLEASE NOTE that the programmes at bbclearningenglish made before Jan / Feb / March 2017 require Adobe Flash to play videos and audio.

The same tips go for listening to the programmes but there are also more tips for making AUDIO work spark.adobe.com/page/1LJPQxITZxAYU/ .
Also, many of the programmes at pre-Sept 2014 bbclearningenglish still work alright. Instructions to make audio work spark.adobe.com/page/sHt0JdYyJ2jIc/
