Install mplayer on your N800 (it's in the maemo extras repository) and start the video like this
Code:
mplayer -playlist http://www.bbc.co.uk/england/realmedia/looknorthyorkslincs/nb/looknorth_16x9_nb.asx
The -playlist option is important. Just passing the url to mplayer will not work in this case.

(It seems that something in the header data of the videostream is corrupted. Actually mplayer is also complaining a bit, but then nevertheless is playing back the video. Maybe BBC has recently changed something in the encoding of the stream.)
