current bbc home page: BBC - Homepage

beta (described as almost ready) design for the new site: BBC - Homepage

Now I'm no luddite but the new design is just an unholy mess.

Isn't it?

If you turn the brightness on your monitor down to one square, stand five meters from your computer and squint it looks okay.

Yuck. However, unless I'm very inobservant, it looks like they're now the same page....

Both BBC home pages were awful.

The current page is nothing to get excited about, but the beta page is a travesty.
Paco is bitter about the loss of his .mac webpage. Image will return when his sadness lessens.

The only thing which really bothers me is the giant white callout in the main story, and the big arrows.

The rest isn't great, but doesn't make my eyes bleed any more than the current site.

Here in the States, I get exactly the same page from both links, and it soean't look particularly like either of the two screenshots you posted.
