Jamez, as far as I can see, a BBC ONE closedown and crossover to the testcard is part of TV Presentation. If this genre is 'sad' to you, you're quite obviously in the wrong forum.

I recognise that you put the simile there but what's your problem? I personally don't find the testcard exciting either but I find other ways of saying that than just slagging off other people. Was what you asked me to put in the announcements, a load of rubbish?

'I should have shown more respect to fellow members whatever their
age or views, and continued to encourage our younger members to put
across their thoughts/comments. '

You may like to re-read it.

Cheers, Asa

Regarding what actually happened, pretty much as expected I think.

Nice background image we don't normally see! (Not like the standard breakdown ones)

BBC News 24 didn't close down, as Sky's EPG claimed. And as I suspected, the word 'goodnight' is banned for BBC One announcers.

Cheers, Asa

I was disappointed to see that at both 1:10, 3 and 4 we just got standard UK-wide announcements rather than Scottish ones.

But very few people would care about the nationality of the announcer/ident at that time of the morning - I doubt many do anyway.

James - It isn't the test card we care about - it's the other things we care about.
It is interesting to compare what the people have written here compared with those on MHP chat.

Goodness me!

All i did was say that the testcard is boring to me - i'm NOT having a go at anyone, just merely observing that some people get a bit carried away Smile

That may be what you meant but if you re-read your post, it certainly didn't come across that way.

Cheers, Asa
