'phasey' is the word I'd go for.
It's fine on SD too, and the studio bits don't sound as bad as the VTs. My armchair engineer's verdict is that it's a problem with the 5.1 audio from the studio - perhaps the rear tracks are slightly delayed compared to the fronts.
On some platforms (eg Sky and Freeview), even if your STB is outputting stereo, you get a downmix of the 5.1. On others (apparently iPlayer and the SD channel) then you get the native stereo.
