I guess I like the current one better.

I like it, fonts are a bit too big but the sliders really nice

I like the general concept but it feels really cluttered. First off, I think they need to hide the content that's either side of the slider, this is one of the things making it feel messy. At the very least, use a couple of white-to-transparent pngs to hide content outside a certain area.
The whole thing is really crammed together really. It's too tight.

Oh and it looks like it's out with the old as copying Apple's UI concepts goes. Microsoft is the new cool.

What I like about it the most is not the design, but the actual content actually, they're focusing on what they actually do, which is make TV shows. Their old page almost only focused on news features.

besides the fonts, there's something there that I dislike.. I just don't know what it is. it looks messy to me

it needs calming down - the iplayer logo and all those arrow heads add confusion. the way stuff pops out and slides around as you mouseover doesn't help it hinders.
needs a designer to have a look at it and kick some sense into it

It looks like it's designed for boredom browsing. - "I'm here, but I don't quite know why?"
When I use bbc, I already know which section I want (news, sport, food etc.), so I just need to hit the section buttons, job done.
By having this monster scroll-fest, I guess they are aiming to show users that there are other things availble which they don't normaly visit?

It's designed for the ipad

^ agree...
but I'd really love to see what's the iPad vs Browser stats for their site.- Low, yet they seem to love wasting money on Apple specific apps/sites.kalkal

I really like the slideshow, underneath looks a bit thrown together... but it may well be as this point.

Yeah, not a fan.

It looks really good on an ipad and a 13" macbook. Not so good on larger screens.
