Just tuned in...

Anyone cap the start of the show? Where abouts are they broadcasting from.... looks very strange!

EDIT: Oh my! The screens have gone blank during the sport!

EDIT 2: We've gone to BBC London

It's obviously a CSO (or was ...). Presume they could not light the studio in time.

It seemed pretty real, with the christmas tree and all. I'm presuming the powers gone out again now....

EDIT: And we're back.... even if is only for the weather

The problems started on DSat a few minutes before 6pm, BBC1 West went to black for about 2 minutes. Network ident was used into the Six with BBC London on the opening headlines opt-out. The first live link didn't work out either.

Back momentarially with Richard Angwin for the weather in the newsroom... with lots of blank computer screens.

Though ironically that message wasn't seen in the West as we got back to Bristol again.

Ah right well Freeview got back to the Weather. And Chris Vacher explaining they were in an Emergency studio because they were running on the generators.

Bizarre that one came up but the other didn't.
