https://web.archive.org/web/199612212032...bbc.co.uk/ will show you the same page as that you've found for bbcnc.org.uk which does redirect to working pages, albeit 1997 date stamp but of course at that time it wouldn't have been a priority to have what we have now, but more of a "this is the BBC and this is what we do" sort of presence.
Very interesting, Neil.
Just been having a poke around and found the home page from BBC World in Japan.
Sorry - off topic.
