It seems that a Russian submarine has gained access to an underground cable feeding the UK with the internetz, and has instigated a massive cyber-attack. Rupert Penry-Jones is on it right now.

This was posted on the 'Live cricket' bit of the sports section:

1344: Just a quick word on a few gremlins in the system this afternoon. No, I'm not on about the ECB but our technology at BBC towers. We have been experiencing a few problems that might affect the availability of the website but we are working very hard to sort them out.

Anyhow, it appears to be sorted now.
