I was watching BBC ONE at the time, but if they played out the generic titles on World, that could explain why they are running very slightly (about 5 seconds) behind One/News 24.

What are the chances the 0000 will be recorded again to allow everyone to catch up? Remember people have still got to come back into the building etc. etc.

Five Live aren't back to "normal" again until 2am it seems.

Won't they just be returning as if to start at Midnight?

It would appear BBC One Scotland is closing down at 01:05

It makes me feel very incomfortable watching BBC News today. It's been quite dire.

I won't be looking foward to the 48 hr strike next week.

This actually is a damn good bulletin with a widespread content element. I'd like more like this. A good mix of domestic, European and world stories.

Let's hope it can be sorted by then, so there is no strike.

Marcus, as someone who is is reliable source of information regarding BBC News, and how it all works. How long will it take for BBC World studio to be ready to go "live" after 00:01?

Thanks

Si!
