Terry, it is the web site, but it was re-done in HTML5 instead of Flash, so it would work on the iPad.
The BBC has never released an app to the app Store - they apparently have disagreements with Apple about terms and conditions. Anything in the app Store with "BBC" in the name is not actually a program officially developed by the BBC, but is 3rd party apps (some very good ones, IMO, so I'm not disparaging anyone's app).

Also, in the responses to that post, others complain of video and audio being out of sync, so maybe the beta still needs work?
