Why didn't we get the regional news?
Without wanting to get too much into the details, it was very much a last-second thing.

Presumably they don't have the rights to the clips on a catchup service.
I just watched the junction back on iPlayer. How long has Question of Sport not been available 'for legal reasons'?
Here is the programme page for the 20:00 news that wasn't shown...

Does the 8pm bulletin have a pre-planned standby associated with it like other live programmes, or is it simply assumed that pres can sustain for 90 seconds? Are those menu slides routinely available or did somebody have to create that specially? I'm guessing they could be automated fairly easily.

Menus for the evening's line-up are created every day and are available pretty much all the time.

I always thought using the server systems it was possible to generate one on the fly as well, along with standard fault captions and other such goodies

You misunderstand the function of a server. All servers do is replace tape - no more, no less. Graphics are created by a grapics software package running on a dedicated computer, as they indeed have been for the last fifteen years or so. Fault captions etc are generated by graphics and not servers.

But it's not beyond the realms of possibility that a graphic showing the next four programmes could be generated on the fly in a similar way to the BBC World breakfiller?
