Smoke appears to come from the left gear, inboard tire:

There's no apparent use of rudder or video evidence of a directional change so control didn't appear to be a problem. On taxi-in/arrival at the gate, the tires appear normal but the resolution isn't sufficient to make a determination.

He does touch down long - almost halfway down the runway by the look of it
For those of us who regularly watch landings at BHX you should know that the TD point of this a/c is well within the norm for Brum. Bear in mind that 33 has a displaced threshold too.

There was nothing wrong with the touchdown point. The big markings at 0:37 are the aiming point, touchdown occurs at 0:39 and the aircraft passes the end of the touchdown zone at around 0:43 just before the smoke plume appears.
