There’s one on the bbc about Hinton leopards on the dark - not sure if it’s an April fool or not!!

Edited to add: nope it genuine - just double checked and it’s about Attenborough new series

I've not spotted any in my brief scan of The Times this morning - except maybe the polygon puzzle which is how I like to get my brain in gear with my morning cuppa, that was a disappointing joke with only four words to find today.Hmm

It has to be a joke, there’s nothing else on the BBC website that
l looks like an April Fool.

BBC (possibly local) had one about an inflatable pedestrian footbridge over the Dartford bridge crossing.

Only downside is the Summer will melt it,so you'll have to drink faster😅
Another one a BB akery put up they've a new pan flavour.
