funniness on flybmi.com for LHR-DME

Morning,

trying to book LHR-DME return on flybmi.com (a C&M J rtn will forever be an 'Economist' to me ) and finding some oddities...

Once I select my departure and return points, I get the month calendar, which shows every single date in November as being available in both cabins. However when I choose my dates and hit continue I get logged back out again.

ANA is showing no availability for my return date, and a quick call to the ICC confirms this.

a) is this a simple website problem where the availability calendar is fubar, and selecting an unavailable date causes the site to log me out, or
b) is the booking system as a whole fubar, and so leaving it for a while might mean that DME-LHR becomes available?

EDIT - return date I'm looking for is Nov 3 if anyone could check on KVS...

Separate point - I will be coming back into LHR w BD, either award or revenue, and connecting to a separate BA flight (don't ask, don't ask). If the BD flight is very late (>90 minutes) and I miss the BA flight, will BD help at all in getting me to TXL or am I sol? [I know they have no formal requirement to, but wondering if they'd open up a cheap rev ticket or something]

tia
