At any given moment in the universe many things happen. Coincidence is a matter of how close these events are in space, time and relationship.

Looks like someone has either wiped all the DNS records (unlikely as they would be cached somewhere) or the BBC DNS servers have all failed (or a key bit of kit linking them to the net has).
Single point of failure comes to mind.... unless Anon are at it again!

If thats a failure, it would indicate much higher level DNS failure, which I very much doubt.
My suspects are catastrophic human error, or some form of cyber attack. I will keep digging though, some of the errors I've had back are extremely strange, indicating DNS servers giving bad responses.

The BBC has a massive number of IP addresses, and I suspect many of their internal systems expect to be able to talk to each other by web address, which with no name servers means that even internally to the BBC right now, their websites are down, it may be a day or two for the BBC to pick up and restore all of its services even after fixing this "DNS" issue.

Think Egypt a few weeks back, except I doubt this is some government conspiracy to try and suppress the masses.
The only IP block that the BBC is announcing at the moment is 132.185.144.0/20, which doesn't contain any of the BBC.co.uk DNS servers
