Would you believe it, the BBC iPlayer's volume goes to 11!!

Some of you will recognize the significance of that, and some of you won't.

For them that don't, explanation here ...

And why does the iPlayer has this "extra" little volume boost?

Spooky that Dennis, I'm sure my next door neighbour uses that number on their TV volume :)

It is also spooky that I have tea and biscuits at 11am. Also the football will be on soon and each team has 11 players :o

And I think it has rained for the last 11 weeks here in the UK :lol:

Sort of a water tap instead of a spinal one :)

I never use it Alan so I've no idea. I do all my screenshots with added arrows, text etc. with Faststone Capture ...

It's very easy to use, and is the last freeware version at the link shown.

That's what the journalist asks him in the video.

I'm guessing here you haven't seen the movie, or know about Spinal Tap. :)

This Is Spinal Tap:

The "Volume Goes Up To 11" is a classic moment.
