You're right, currently there are few non-h2g2 navigation links visible in the plain skin (I can only see 'text only' and the copyright ones at the bottom). That means the only way to get to the homepage is to use a link in a conversation (http://www.bbc.co.uk/ or <./>/</.>
, or to type in the address yourself (which might be tricky on a digibox, I'm not sure).
Hopefully as support for the plain skin improves in the future, we'll see some improvement in this area (or so the management hope ).

Another thing you could try is clicking on 'Text Only'..then clicking 'Return to Betsie Home page' Not sure that's exactly what your looking for..has some BBC pages..

You could use the terms and conditions link at the bottom of the page and then the BBC homepage link is on the top left of that.

What I don't get is why there are 2 (differently named) links to the terms at the bottom of the page.
