Not too many breakdowns from the Dancers' era online (March 2020)

Hello,

I was hoping if anybody is in possession of any breakdowns that happened on the BBC from 2002-2006.

Reason being is that I've been trying to hunt down this one breakdown for quite a while, now. It happened at the start of Wallace and Gromit back in Christmas of 2002, where the programme starts playing on top of the "Music Video" ident, with a sudden cut to the breakdown caption where the CA starts laughing whilst apologising for the fault.

I've been wishing for a full version of this breakdown to be back up online for a while, there is short version of this breakdown on TVWhirl, but this only shows the ending of the breakdown, where after a few minutes with some music, the CA apologies again says something along the lines of "We can now go to Best Inventions" completely missing out the Wallace and Gromit short that night! Laughing

There is another one I can think of which I did see not too long back where I was watching an old FA Cup match and the picture starts glitching and freezing, before it eventually dies altogether, with this caption appearing.

More would be appreciated, if there's any library music and you can't give any out, I completely understand.

Many thanks.

The song is Against the Clock, by Murray Munro.
It's library music, but the publisher UPM makes the music available for listening for free. You can also find it on youtube if you just google it.

Ah, I wasn't requesting the music, I was requesting footage of the breakdowns from that era.

I was saying that if any breakdowns contained any library music, I understand completely.

Anyways, I would love to see a full version of the breakdown from Christmas 2002 with the dodgy ident Laughing
