Yup, I wonder if it was BT Tower related, however I didn't see a slate.

Hmm, was that announcement pre-recorded?

I hope someone has a recording, as I missed everything but the breakdown card and voiceover.

It wasn't the same technical gaffe with BT Tower experienced on Something For The Weekend on BBC2 when the clocks changed near enough exactly 10 years ago was it?

That looked to me more like a fault (equipment failure) than a line switch

When the programme continued, Tim Lovejoy revealed that some viewers had even switched off as a result of the unexpected glitch.

"We lost some of our viewers due to a technical fault."
