Flicked over to That's Scotland News at random a couple of weeks ago. Found the presenter stumbling over her words, then saying "Nah, I've messed that up, let's go again" and taking a swig of water from a water bottle. They also finish the news by saying "Remember, it's your show so tell us what you want to see! Email or tweet us and let us know."
I did see a clip somewhere, I think on the MHP Private Parts, where an overnight showing of Hardtalk opened with a fluffed take of the intro as well. From what I remember, the caption saying Norman Lamont (who I guess was the interviewee on that edition) popped up, Stephen stopped talking, said "oh, what happened" and it cut to a TC7 test card.
I'm guessing on that show it's basically recorded as live, and they started playing the recording back too early?
Edit, found it on YouTube:

There's only the briefest glimpse of the guest, but it looks like it's but Norman Lamont - perhaps he was the previous guest and they forgot to update the Aston at the start of this recording.
The VT clock that appears briefly states "Lamont/Hilton/Bloomfield", so perhaps if that shot had continued it would have shown three contributors on the screen
Local TV appears to go back to 1972 in the UK with the launch of Greenwich Cablevision.

So it does. I'm not sure I've ever seen a triple-header HARDTalk before, but apparently that's what there was. Either way, Steven Sackur isn't Norman Lamont, which I guess was the real reason for the retake!
