Currently getting nothing but a 500 error.

Error code 500 is an Internal Server Error. I'll allow you to figure it out...

e; @above clear your cache and try again or something because it's down here too.
 
Think I see where the problem lies.

Code:
C:\>tracert www.bbc.co.uk

Tracing route to www.bbc.net.uk [212.58.246.93]

Ah, the Fire Clown, such fond memories.

BBC homepage is regularly down you just don't see it very often because of the cacheing layers in front of it. The whole thing is held together with string and sticky back plastic. Some of the modules never change (Ouch! blog) because new instructions from the CMS is enough to take out the page.

New one should be much better in that respect.
