BBC says it was off from 16:58 to 17:31 and is therefore now back on:

STEPHEN PARTNER: Engineering work is presently being carried out at the Ivybridge transmitter and so unfortunately breaks in reception can occur at any time, the main point to remember being "not" to try a retune or alter anything with your installation if its found that the signal has vanished as it will return of its own accord.
