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

[@zackdoesgamesmusic3469]

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

[@joannegray5138]

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.

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

[@SOSOwner]

It was replaced when the new idents were introduced.

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