BBC 2 wales showed the BBC 1 Neon (Blackpool) ident before Are You Being Served today (without any reference to the mistake by the continuity announcer)!

There was a live (or at least produced tonight) trail for Later Live during the 9pm junction, which highlighted something to me - back in 1997, a simple few lines of text would have been overlaid onto the closing seconds of the trailer. In 2015, we got a crash cut away from Jools and a nice piece of live music to a silent (bar a pre-recorded v/o) hot pink endboard, jarringly disrupting the flow of the trail and the junction.

It just looked so bad. Will 99% of viewers notice or care? Nope. But even so, it's undeniable that something from almost 20 years ago would have worked considerably better.

Oh and this:

I'm surprised Sure deodorants haven't sued the BBC for basically using their logo reversed for Victoria's logo!

Stormont Today on NI was extended last night, such that they were unable to show QI - and, leading into the News, there was time for a full 30" playout of Diary Smile

Pre-recorded announcement?

Wouldn't have thought so, the nations pres directors are also the announcers, so usually little need to pre-rec unless it's a particularly complex junction.

NI showed a modified Copper Cut Out programme menu with a list of some of this evening's programmes, in the junction before the 11AM handover to BBC News, that had a "Wednesday" caption within a white box, at the bottom of the screen and directly to the left of the BBC TWO NI box logo. Possibly due to an error, all 20" of it was completely mute.

(the background did animate, but I didn't think it was worth uploading a silent video...)
