bbc denial of service attack?

[beesthorpe]

When I try to view the BBC website I get the following message:

"Error 500 - Internal Error
This might be because:

We are experiencing abnormal traffic to our network or
the service or servers it is on is not currently available.

Please try the following options instead:
Try again later once we have solved the problem."

anybody else seeing this, or could something weird be wrong with my router?

Same thing here from the US.

Yes, I'm also getting this from a Virgin Media connection.

Edit: https://twitter.com/bbcpress shows the BBC are aware of the problem.

thanks Papibe, it's annoying but at least it's not my problem :p

Same here, indeed.

Up for me here in the UK.

Incidentally, this is a good website for these situations:
