21.36.00 - BBC1 and BBC2 analog jump from 16:9 to 4:3 centre cut out.
Music and apologies on both.
Same BBC1 emergency music they've used for the past two years I think (Mp3 of it would be nice).

Posted that in another thread but put it here too.
I have some real video of the annoucer saying sorry etc.
BBC 2 Wales is ok.
Ohh.. .it's just gone all quiet in Wales.
No music now.
Oh it's back again, I wish they would play some news themes instead!

Most likely either Birmingham, Bristol or Manchester is running things.
