Just tuned in for the BBC Four News, and the sprinkle and headlines went out OK (these are pre-recorded though), but half way through the titles, the screen froze, and cut to black. BBC World have quickly started to play out a recorded bulletin, while BBC Four are showing a breakdown apology.

Good innit. BBC Four must be a bit stuck now. BBC World is off doing it's own thing, and BBC Four are stuck with a silent caption (recorded announcment just now).

Cut to BBC World now complete with bbcnews.com and recorded dog.

I just caught the welcome back from the break - what did BBC4 do then? Did we get a breakfiller?

The News 24 manager must need another week to sort out the stuff for his re-launch. So he pop's down to the power room, and starts pulling wires!

Nope, BBC Four opted out for their own trailers, while World had the breakfiller as normal.

I hope they get it sorted by 2100, as they might have to replay this bulletin again for World viewers!

No breakfiller. We got the World break bumper and then we had two BBC Four trailers before going back.

Do they not have a proper Recorded DOG? That is God awful!

Anyone know if News 24 is off again? I can't see a TV
