No, not a made up list. It's a list of "popular queries" which is what they call it. That is very different from a claim that those are "most searched for terms". They're popular ones, not the top ones.
I've e-mailed both Google and the BBC asking for clarification. I'll let you know what (if anything) I hear back.
BBC reply:
Hi Dan, thanks for your email. The top searches are the most-searched-for terms over an hour long period.
Best regards,
The BBC Search Team
