BBC net Show in Site Crash
BBC bosses were left red-faced when a TV documentary about the power of the internet crashed its own website.
Viewers were told to complete an online behaviour test after web documentary The Virtual Revolution aired on BBC2 on Saturday.
But servers crashed and thousands of the show's 1.3million viewers were faced with blank screens.
One viewer - called @cloggingchris - Tweeted: "Oh the irony."
A series spokesman also turned to Twitter, writing: "We may have to call this a DoS (Denial of Service) attack to save face."
The show featured interviews with Twitter fan Stephen Fry and Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates.
