What the URL says and what's actually happening on the server are basically unrelated. For example, a single line added to an Apache config file will get .html parsed as PHP. You might think it's an html file .. it isn't. Likewise for any extension .. I have .jpg parsed as PHP in some circumstances.

As for the BBC website, I think it's largely static content with server side includes running on a Perl engine. It's a pretty incredible website. But it costs millions of pounds a year to run, so you'd expect it to be. I imagine they wrote their own CMS software.
