It will be curious to learn a bit more about the underlying Java platform and the delivery tier being authored in PHP. It sounds a bit like they've implemented Alfresco as a ECM/WCM platform then utilized, or are experimenting with utilizing, the PHP APIs for delivery. Then again, when looking at the current portal/portlet-type implementation on bbc.co.uk, it looks quite like a Liferay implementaiton. Which, curiously enough, plays well with Alfresco as the underlying content repository, since it is JSR-168 compliant.

Notably news is different as is /programmes which is dynamically published. Nor (on /programmes and /music) do we design from Photoshop - the designers work directly with the mark-up in css and photoshop (to create the page assets). Obviously lots of bbc.co.uk is as you describe. It’s worth bearing in mind that not all of bbc.co.uk is built this way.
