Looks nice. Wonder what platform they're using...
Pretty sure BBC A+MI is a Rails shop (most of the rest of the BBC, including iPlayer, is Perl).
I saw a presentation a while back which indicated there was a bit of erlang creeping into the mix behind the scenes, too.
I thought it was in Rails judging by the url schema (the .format notation, and yaml), but the headers and cookies differ from the usual Rails ones...
This is an argument for the license fee in itself.
The BBC has had excellent policies on web development for a long time, it's only recently they started following them.
