I'm sure that talking over a black screen was a big no-no at the BBC for that very reason
It's also funny because I had just been thinking, "Why is BBC One the only channel messing up lately?" And then I checked TV Home and saw this. Maybe they got lazy at 3:30 in the morning...

Not as much of a breakdown and more of a cock-up, but on the morning of December 2nd (and I mean early morning Sign Zone) BBC Two for no apparent reason used Revelatory instead of a Christmas ident going into Panorama. Darn Panorama messing up another channel! Also Two's Sign Zone idents are missing the COTY branding, although that might be intentional.
EDIT: Revelatory actually seems to be used as a Sign Zone-exclusive serious programming ident right now.
Apparently there was a mess-up at the end of tonight's Brexitcast. Voiceover about Americast while Laura and Adam were still speaking.
Yeah there was.
PRESWATCH: another playout glitch tonight on @BBCOne. A pre-recorded voiceover is played out prematurely as the presenters wrap up #Newscast. The voiceover is then played out in the correct spot, immediately after the programme. pic.twitter.com/qv86JBQQU5
