Ahh that's ironic, it's a streaming Windows Media file.

You might be able to play it it from here with Mplayer  if you have the 
right (most likely proprietary) codecs installed.

mms://85.133.58.16/UKParliament/Archive/0000001353.wmv

(I would have thought if you had Windows Media Player installed on the 
Mac it would play it!).

Doesn't work for me here, I only get audio running Ubuntu 8.04 Alpha 3 
without the w32codecs.
