BBC Two Power Failure 2001 

09:50 was the most appropriate piece of channelhopping timing EVER.

Cut back to I Love 1975 and Peter Kay's going, "Do you remember all the power cuts back then?"

“DOESN’T WORK!” I think we know that, Chief! 😂😂

00:48 you didn't spoil the show but you are spoiling the music, I'm missing my dance

If I saw this on TV, I would dance to the music to pass the time until the power failure was over because the music is so catchy

Quality bit of archived material. Techicnal faults scared me as a kid in the 80's as they used to go on for ages, and even this is a bit spooky!

This happened almost 2 decades ago, but I really feel bad for this announcer. Her voice just oozes stress.

DOESN'T WORK.

Sadly the music is more entertaining then "I Love 1975"

"DOESN'T WORK!!"

Love that second track, it's almost like a poor man's Level 42.

These are times that I don't envy the job of a continuity announcer. Especially in times like these when the problem is fairly large! I wonder how large a music library the Beeb has for breakdowns? It must be sizeable by this point!

Diggin' the depressed 2 in the corner

It's almost like the digital & analogue sections of BBC2 are in totally separate places!

A E S T H E T I C S

They were probably some people dancing to this break down music in the BBC studio.

Interesting comparing this to bbc two analogue failure at the same time seems they got bbc two on slightly earlier than the digital version

I'm amazed there aren't as many technical problems as there used to be these days!

Why do they refer to problems as "gremlins?" I'm an American and I've never heard that word used to describe anything except the 80s' greatest movie. Oh, and children on occasion.

I remember a BBC 2 breakdown it was a Thursday evening as you may know Gaelic were shown De a Nis went ahead as planned but when the Gaelic version of Fireman Sam was supposed to be shown it was shown but the episode that was shown was the same one that was shown the week before

I have a breakdown video from BBC One which also happened the same time as this.

I had this song in my dream!

8:30 The old Sky interface

And I saw also that BBC One was also still in the air! 9:50!

The woman is geting restless

Music solves everything

I Love how the woman is out of breath in 6 minutes. The BBC was good back then.

Of all of the music in this video, RU-vid only recognizes the very last one (which is in lower quality here)

BBC 2 had a power failure on launch day. Battersea Power Station caught fire.

Loving the 80s-style music! Much better than the really creepy stuff they play these days...

That was my mate's birthday. Y'know, actual birthday.

I was just 5 months old at this point

Did anyone notice the 2 in the background?

Courtney Grimshaw probaly because BBC News 24 and BBC Parliament was from a different BBC TVS (TVS Television Station)

RIP 2 in the Power Fault Screen 1964 - 2001

I like the music playing in the background 😎👍

IT DONT WORK, IT DONT WORK YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, IT DONT WORK, IT DONT WORK! 😃

I love the music!

Does Anybody Have The Full Version Of This Breakdown?

+ConorSturmey Thank you :) (That comment was from my old account when I was younger and stupider)

If there was any channel more suited to handle a power failure, it is BBC2. LOL, they STARTED with one!

Seems that they were playing the exact same song on Digital Satellite... (Digital Terrestrial was blanked-out (wasn't showing anything), and Analogue was playing all kinds off music)

Can anyone tell me what's the first song?

Thank You For Likeing My Comment

I so miss Sky UK WAY BETTER then the crap cable station we have in Australia

Cool music! xD

*doesnt work*

Whoah! Another bbc breakdown!

...and also spot the difference in the background.

With the amount of break downs I have nowadays would be great if I had my own breakdown music haha

It seems as if the second lady or woman in this video sounds like Mrs Thimble from the Angelina Ballerina: The Next Steps television series.

I love 1975 interrupted by music from 1985 😀

They still using the Old Background of BBC 2

Can anyone tell me what the first song is? Thank you!

Sorry, it was me to comment, not my dad!

Thats not a power outage that's an i.t/ equipment failure

First song is nice!

There was another technical difficulty 13 days before.

20 years ago today

Nice, Paint Pot Background.

Why don't radio stations like Heart and Absolute play those tunes?

The music sounds like Can't Get You Out Of My Head by Kylie Minogue

How come BBC News and BBC Parliament wasn't affected??

DOESN'T WORK!

I'm that person off BBC 2 that music is BBC made

9:50 "Doesn't work!" You don't say. 😆

Wish we saw the BBC Knowledge one

What's the first track?

whats the 2nd track

i guess this is the second time it happened since 1964?

Its strange, if the BBC suffered a power failure, how could BBC news 24 and BBC parliament be on the air?

I LOVE BBC ❤️

funky music

How were the news channels working at the time? Did they have generators or something?

Why?

Anyone know the continuity announcer?

whats all the songs plz :)
