I've been mooching about hootoo and found this Entry A1105426
Take a look. It seems we've already got our very own h2g2 Media Player set up! And just WHO is that doing the voice-over

Indeed, however they're from Undedited Guide Entries or Personal Spaces and produced by the Digital Village - whereas the Entry I've linked to looks like something produced specifically for and by h2g2 in its current state. (I know there's older stuff, but the Edited Guide Entry mentioned appears to be fairly recent).
Just goes to show that getting AV up and running for the EG shouldn't be too difficult

That was the wonderful Sam Semple, who went out to Monument and recorded that video himself back in 2003. He also did the video on the entry for the London Stone.

I knew there was another one that I'd seen, but couldn't recall what is was about! 
Is that the kind of thing that would be acceptable? IfOfficial AViators went out and recorded for EG Entries? Or is there a load of red tape preventing such action?

I'd also dearly love to see this kind of stuff again -

What's the likelihood of that?

The basic Terms and Conditions that eevryone agrees to when they register includes music and video, so it should still be possible. And in fact, it would be possible to include links to YouTube if it involved appropriate content (ie, original content rather than stuff where the copyright clearly belongs to someone else).

But the thing about YouTube is that the videos are not in a permanent state - I've followed many a link only to see the message that the video has been removed by the creator. At least with h2g2-originated videos we could ensure that they'd remain on the servers.
