You can "pop up" a new window, yes (if the user hasn't changed the
settings on his/her browser to avoid it).
But you can't set the size of that window, it will be the size the
user has set as default window size. That means that for people who
surf full screen, the BBC site will also be full screen, and thus
cover your site. Then, if the user wants to go back to your site,
they'll press the back-button on their keyboard, or click the
back-button of their browser, but it won't work, cause your site is in
another window, invisible to them.
Long story short: don't open up new windows.
