Once again, the BBC are bored of their layout, so they've released a beta of a new layout BBC - Homepage

Obviously some parts are the same, but it is more "showing off" kinda look.

Any opinions?

I like the navigation across the top, makes it a lot easier to quickly drill down into the section I want.

Whilst the top banner, which they have called new, to me just looks like a move of the current feature box. However, having said that, it does look better.

i think the user feedback when rolling over content blocks (with the aim to move them) is much better, and moving the customise button to the bottom of the page makes sense too.

I like it, it's made it a bit simpler, and therefore easier to find information, without losing the depth.
