WILTY on Network, Scotland's Home of the Year on Scotland, both around 5 minutes late. Must have been some serious padding in the schedule.

BBC Wales should have just stuck with Eastenders then Panarama, Just like N.I. have done.
Let Network and Scotland get out of this mess.
Now Wales is in the same mess as Network & Scotland.

All of the nations are dependent on how network react and given network would have been busy trying to fix the problem I'd hardly imagine the nations would be hounding them for an answer as they'll have been in this position themselves.

There may well be standard procedures that state hitting the news junction is key and if that means dropping a programme so be it.

Wales have dropped Panorama and now can't get WILTY on air.

oh my, now Wales have attempted to go straight into WILTY and have ended up on a breakdown slide.
AndrewPSSP, MarkT76 and Rexogamer gave kudos

Would this indicate that Network are on a DR play out so regions are switching to the wrong one?

Good old Al on BBC One Wales with a spectacular crash into WILTY.

Kyle Hector on ITV tonight is without doubt the worst of the bunch.


He's the one who made a mess of the Emmerdale episode dedication to the actor who had passed away a couple of weeks ago. Got the actor's name wrong!!

At least now that they have got WILTY on air, Wales is now in sync with Network.

Surely to pull back a few minutes they could have axed the trails?

My thoughts exactly, would anyone know if there's a reasoning behind this maybe?

Strange they are only now 5 mins late, tonight’s EastEnders must have been much shorter than the 25 min slot it was in

North East & Cumbria opted out for an additional trailer for World Service and then into their regional programme around 6 minutes late. Pre-rec continuity so no explanation (and didn’t mask Network’s ECP for WILTY)
