First I knew was when my sister came to check on the tv in here if it was off, then I told her to check Sky Digital One and Two - and they were off so it was not Emley Moor... Then nothing!

UKTV! Yeah! I was happily watching the Vicar of Dibley!

Do we think Choice and Knowledge will put in an appearence again tonight?!

Here we go, perhaps a record for fastest video produced, although I would have to beat Thames TV for that!

Wales may have taken control itself by now, or Birmingham is doing it for them.

If you go onto BBC NEWS ONLINE, it hasn't been updated for a while. It does say it is updated every minute of the day.

Well, they broke that promise!

This is actually a news story, so N24 should have announced it.

It will be in the 2nd editions of the Sunday papers

Ceefax is the time behind that power was lost completely before backups kicked in?! Maybe they're scared off back-ups after the generators caught fire last year!!
