BBC One was off air for a few minutes at 1.20am on Tuesday morning. Just an apology caption and music - seemingly no announcement.

There was an announcement from London, then some music, then in Wales the caption at the bottom changed from BBC ONE to BBC ONE Wales. Then shortly afterwards the Welsh announcer said we could return to the film.

15 Mins later BBC ONE Joined News 24 with a short Swinside ident, and a couple of mins later Wales joined with the Blackpool tower ident.

I wonder if they played muzak during the off-air time?
