I loved the fact he was mid sentence about how the problem was fixed and went straight to black!! Laughing


And as he said he'd play some music, we got a few bars and then it cut to David Cameron mid sentence, and then back to silence!

He certainly sounded exasperated! Caught it about a minute before the PEB, was it going on much before? Probably the worst time to have a failure, during a PEB as I guess it's has an agreed time to be shown making showing a standby less of an option.


The ident played longer than usual before the announcer said 'This is BBC ONE', the PEB slide then appeared in silence (I think) and then the PEB itself started with no sound, and then the breakdown slide appeared and that's where you will have joined it.

FWIW HD were showing the standard break filler with something like 'BBC One HD continues shortly' in place of the countdown

Someone will probably get a smacked bum due to this break down and I mean that quite literally.

What were the nations due to show instead of the PEB by the Conservative Party and what did they show?


Northern Ireland have an election debate show. Wales have something else. Scotland are the same as England though.

Don't they play the "circles ident music" on breakdowns anymore?

Not that I'm complaining - I wasn't much of a fan of it.

That make no scene as we would not have had the same PEB as England...

in Scotland it should have been the Referendum on the Voting System for the UK Parliament 2011 - Yes Campaign

They seem to have dumped it for (what Twitter calls it) 'Sex/naked music' Laughing

Looks like they've gone back to the original animation; weren't the next/later menus (also the HD filler) initially used for breakdowns post-refresh, accompanied by the ident soundtracks on a loop (naff, I agree)?

BBC One Scotland played about 4 trails, a clean Bikes ident (which cut off suddenly), another trail then the breakdown slide.

I don't have a capture card, but I got a photo of the BBC One Scotland breakdown slide. They accompanied it with music from the idents.
