If I try going to the BBC website, it tries to give me a different URL, then messes about a bit and goes to a kind of 'safe mode' page.

Is anyone else having this or is my internet flopped? PH appears to be loading fine....

Cheers chaps, thought it might just be me on IE.

Never seen the BBC site crash before though, with the amount of traffic that place has I doubt people are too pleased!

www.bbc.co.uk well and truly shagged at the moment.

Suspect the most talented hamsters powering the BBC website have been head-hunted by PH.

www.bbc.co.uk/?ok ?

Yep, it looks buggered. Circular re-direct?

Eee and Firefox, if that matters.

Circular re-direct indeed. The BBC appears to be disappearing up its own fundamental orifice.

I blame Mandelson.
