BBC One

I have to criticise BBC One's service last night. I presume after McClory's win at the Open, they apologized for being late. BUT, after that they forgot about it.

They should have introduced Seven Wonders of the Commonwealth as "slightly later than advertised". Same for the BBC News that followed. I believe they cut the news short (although not by much) to keep things on time after that too, which is slightly annoying when the MH17 and Gaza stories are big!

A bad night, I hope they cope a bit better when they do the Commonwealth Games, not necessarily keeping it on time, but making sure apologizes and appropriate announcement are made if they are late.

BBC1 have just had a breakdown going out of the BBC News simulcast when the weather was supposed to appear. Consisted of the Monday evening programme menu and that same ceefax track that they have used since about 2010. Basically the same as what happened during May last year.

I thought last night went as scheduled? The Golf was scheduled to finish at 7pm which it did and The Seven Wonders Of The Commonwealth was always scheduled for 9.10-10.10pm.

Got a retro question, bringing you back to a time that you might want to forget, TV Forumers - was there ever a copy released of the 2002 BBC One Clock? BBC Marketing cut it last minute, but has it ever been leaked out?

I have this in my bookmarks. I can't remember where it's from but I think someone shared it on Twitter, possibly posted in the comments of an MHP PP file http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=14ca7hl&s=5#.U85Eyqg2wjV

The image looks like it was recorded onto VHS. Presumably not an off air recording, maybe recorded internally?

It was a last minute decision wasn't it, as you said. Although I'm surprised they didn't bring it back for the Queen Mother's death.

I may be wrong but there used to be a live version that worked on your desktop and worked in real time.
