Usually happens when Something Big Is Going Down.

It did come back up for me and nothing much was going on - only the ticker wasn't working - but now it's gone back to unavailable again.

I know there has been some hacker activity today, mentioned in another thread, I wonder if this has had an affect? Or I suppose it could be a attempt by the labour party to cause a new blackout to take the heat off Gordon, or it could be that there is going to be an alien invasion and they are using the internet to co-ordinate their attack or....

Is it Britney Spears' Australian tour announcement?

Wait a minute! How did you get that link, when the website was down?! Do you have something to tell us Uncle Mort?

It's only the Front Page that's down

If you go to any of the sub-pages (eg News|Scotland, News|World, etc) and navigate from the left panel it works fine.

Seems to be back up and running again now. Thank you Britney!

It's back up. Just in time to keep simoncc from thinking that we had reached utopia!

They are back up now - has the BBC been bought out by Setanta?

Maybe the Circle Line acts like a hamster in a wheel to power the BBC - no tubes, no Beeb...

Ohh I missed all that by the time I got back from my lunch time trip to a bike shop at about 1pm is was up again.
