You can still see people's images if you hover over their names in the forum (if you have the feature enabled), so it just seems to be a minor bug.
It's also worth posting (and checking for) bugs in the Site Bugs / Suggestions[^] forum.

Shouldn't they be running around in their wheels still

No, that would be dangerous; they should be running around in their wheels moving.

No, they sulk in the corner when their straw is dirty.

While the images were active on the site, they couldn't open them to draw moustaches on them.

OK, I get why the BBC doesn't let us folks from overseas watch stuff on iPlayer - they (or someone else) can sell the programs overseas, and have potential copyright issues.
Fairy Nuff.
But they just released a 'teach kids to program by playing a dr. Who game free online'
And you can't use it outside the UK.
I have a coderDojo on saturday I was aching to let the kids give it a go - now it's a no go (although most of them Im sure could find a proxy in a few minutes, it's not ethical to teach 'em to circumnavigate such things.
Bah! to you BBC, Bah!
(and I don't like this last series of Dr. Who, so Bah! again!

Sure it is. Circumventing geoblocking is an essential life skill these days. Besides, you could just configure the proxies in advance, then it'll just work without them ever knowing something special happened.

... until you successfully inspire one to try programming at home and he runs into the block and can't fix it himself. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Well, as it's designed to go hand in hand with the new programming curriculum in schools, why would you expect it to be made available outside the UK?
|
|
|
|
|
But they don't "make things available" to other countries. They make it available globally, and then actively ban everyone except the UK.
If the only excuse is "but it's not useful elsewhere", why go through the trouble?

It's the beeb. Stupidity is ingrained. How else do you explain Clarkson?

It's not so much expectation, but why not? I don't see the reason for keeping it local only except if they are going to license it outside the UK and so gain financially.

It will be available internationally when the tablet version is released, early 2015.

Cool, I hope that's true. My wife went crazy yesterday when she found out she couldn't "play" from here...

You are lucky Dave isn't around here at the moment saying things like that.
I think the series is good in general, with a couple of exceptions.

They've toned it right down to childrens' show level (presumably because writing for older audiences is hard).
TBH, I haven't even bothered watching the last two.

The two I didn't really like were "Into the Dalek" and "Robot of Sherwood" I would agree those two are a bit "toned right down to childrens' show level" But I think the rest of the series is very good.
I especially liked "Listen" and "Flatline". It just proves you can't please all of the people all of the time.

Traditionally I have been glued to the screen as soon as the show is aired.
I recorded the last two and watched them both after the 2nd aired.
Actually seemed to be improving, but still not up to scratch for me.

I've got the added task of finding Chinese subtitles and re-timing them to match my recordings.
I really can't be bothered to make that much effort.

Ohh! Hola! (Hadn't tried it before - downloading it now! Thanks.

As they say in Thuthex.
The issue with the ethics is that I can't be seen to be telling kids to "illegally download" stuff. They do anyway, but I can't be seen to condone it. Telling them to install Hula just can't happen.
Of course, I can point them to a discussion on CP about the issue...
