The video should open in this page. To watch the footage, you'll need to have Quicktime 5 or later installed - if you don't have it on your machine, you can get Quicktime from Apple.com - it's a free download.

The video is 1.2 megabtyes in size. If you're using a modem connection this normally takes approximately two minutes to dowload. With 512k broadband the video should only take a few seconds to download.At busy times you may find the download takes a little longer.

As the video is downloaded, the white horizontal bar beneath the picture will slowly turn grey. When enough has been downloaded to allow smooth playback, the video will automatically start. Don't press play, or you will find the video halts because not enough has been downloaded.
