Rodents have been know to cause major outages:

The frequency of the problems and yesterday's "some" tweet from BS suggest problems closer to home though.
I used to work for a major organisation and our disaster recovery plans included an ability to get core service back but with limited functionality until full service could be restored. Now it might be a bit generous to describe BS as actually having a DR plan but it is not uncommon to have phased recovery. I have to say though that if they have a DR plan one element would be about communications both within and externally to the company covering suppliers and customers (and even regulators). From a communication perspective that would include even having the basic comms already drafted for internal and external audiences across a range of scenarios. Get this stuff right and its surprising how patient people will be.
^ I've seen reports of a twitchy Ofcom if broadcasters remain off-air. I imagine there's threshold for informing them buried somewhere in the licence conditions if anyone can be bothered to look.

I doubt that Ofcom see BS as a critical service but it's true that regulators can insist that company's have comprehensive DR plans AND test them on a regular basis. A board director (often The IT Director) should have responsibility for this. Now he clearly could not be responsible for some guy somewhere drilling through a cable BUT would be responsible for getting them back on air asap.

There's no such requirement - unless a broadcaster is supposed to be providing local or community content. If they are off air and therefore not providing such content, they need to report this to Ofcom immediately, as it represents a breach of their licence conditions.

So there is a requirement but its not time based.

Apologies, because of the SendVid 15 minute limit, I've unfortunately had to cut out about 1 and 3/4 hours worth of footage

Will anyone persevere until beyond 11 minutes ?
Remember, it's cheating to skip/fast forward - you're not getting the all the excitement and "what's-going-to-happen-next" suspense of the proper "as live" nightshow watching experience by doing that
