This problem has been about for a few weeks onAlexa and seems to be dure to
one or more servers having expired certificates resulting in any feed from
one of the affected feeds being unreachable, aand I wonder if the problem
is now affecting the web site as well. Certainly an increasing number of
pages cannot be seen by older browsers which has mucked up some podcast programs which use embedded routines derived from Internet Explorer.
One might have thought these smart alex who build web servers might have spotted this as a potential issue before they did it?

I'm having trouble seeing the following page and get a BBC message saying >>"Oops something went wrong".

That's what it says for any help page that doesn't exist, e.g.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/help/asdasdasd
When I searched for the page on Google it listed a few lines (see below) >>showing a recent date. I guess the page exists somewhere but where?
"*** Updated September 2021 *** We are aware of ongoing issues
with BBC Sounds streams stopping or cutting out on some Alexa
devices. This includes listening on two speakers as a Stereo Pair."
Presumably it *doesn't* exist any more, but did when Google indexed it.
There's still a link to it on
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/help/questions/playback-issues/help-fixing-smart-speaker
and that page has a "was this page helpful" option you could use to
report it.
