BBC1: temporary fault and closedown - Wednesday 13th/Thursday 14th March 1991 

UK: "We sincerely apologize for the break in programmes, please bear with us a few moments." **music plays** US: whoops **stops film**

You don't get personal continuity like that anymore. Nicely handled.

BBC Radio 1 was only two months away from running a full 24 hour schedule. Up until May 1st 1991, BBC Radio 1 ended their programming at 2am, with BBC Radio 2 the only BBC station on air through the night.

Well done Andy cart ledge for the apology during film breakdown I remember it very we

Looks like they were playing that film from a 1" VT copy.

Very interesting that the "Temporary Fault" caption was still being used in the early 90's...

And at this point 15 telecine engineers within TV Centre were all shouting "WE TOLD YOU TO TRANSMIT DIRECT FROM FILM!!!!!!"

Announcer: Andy Cartledge

Happy days

what machines did they use anyway?

Time on the clock: 01:30 am.
