Add the medibuntu repo as per these instructions - this is so you can install the necessary codecs.
http://www.medibuntu.org/repository.php

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove totem-mozilla
sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer w32codecs

You should then find that opening firefox and going to any of the bbc realplayer pages you can click "play in realplayer" and it should work in the browser.
