The original source link for the BBC science content currently returns an “Error 404 – Oops, the page you’re looking for is no longer here” message. The specific article titled “Try searching for it instead” appears to have been removed or relocated from the BBC Sounds platform.
According to the error page, users who typed the URL directly into their browser are advised to check for typos. For those who accessed the page via site navigation or search, the BBC encourages submitting feedback to comhelp.bbc@bbc.com for investigation.
At the time of this report, the main BBC World Service page remains live, featuring recent audio updates including news bulletins, sports previews, and entertainment reviews, but the specific science segment is inaccessible.
I tried the direct link myself yesterday and got the same 404. Has anyone managed to find an archived version yet?
Wait, was the main World Service page unaffected? That’s oddly specific. Maybe they’re just restructuring that entire section.
This is frustrating. My students rely on those BBC science clips for our weekly updates, and now they’re just gone.
