Hi Steve,
Might be an ubuntu specific issue.
Just fired it up for the first time. Using firefox & the non-free 
flashplayer. The speedtest worked fine. As did the opening 30 seconds of 
Dr Who.
My firefox has a bunch of plugins as well which would only get in the 
way (flashblock, firebug, yslow, cookie manager, tree style tabs, user 
agent switcher, web developer etc.)

Maybe check you have the nonfree flashplayer installed?
Outside chance your ISP is blocking it (seems unlikely to me but possible).
