Surprised no-one picked up on this considering we had messed up junctions from after Breakfast up to Bargain Hunt:

After Breakfast the titles faded into a This Morning caption, which went out announcerless. This was followed by a promo, which was cut out at the end, when it was informing the date and time of the BBC Two programme, and cut to the N24 countdown. After about three or four seconds this was cut abruptly back to the Skateboarders ident, again announcerless, and this was cut out after about ten seconds back to the N24 countdown. After a further three or four seconds we cut back into the beginning of the Sunday AM titles.
I suspect, though I will probably be wrong, is that instead of cutting to the ident, it was accidentally cut to the N24 feed, which would have still been on the servers after Breakfast. When this was noticed they cut back to the network ident, but instead of playing the pre-recorded anno they ended up cutting to the N24 feed instead. They cut back when the ident finished so they went straight to the Sunday AM titles.

There were further problems in the following two junctions including IIRC another anno less ident and a few black screens. After Heaven and Earth had finished the end still stayed on for a while and then cut out into the end of a BBC Four promo.

A fair few technical problems then this morning! (I'm sure there were more in the latter two junctions but the exact details escape me other than that H&E was intorduced with Salsa and I can't remember if there was an ident before Bargain Hunt)

Before Bargain Hunt, the red Now/Next caption stayed on screen, for a good while (with no promotions - just the red Now/Next caption) until the "Music Video" ident begun, which I think went out as usual, with announcment...

Same here...!

Was it another mess-up, or has Haka really been re-instated?

I haven't watched much BBC ONE today myself, so I wouldn't have seen it.

I hope it is back as I always did like that one. I felt that it was a shame for it to be 'rested' because I thought that it had one of the better ident soundtracks as well as the dance being a simple not extravagant one.

An interesting thing I noticed from that still is that it was in fact of the ending of the ident; a strange place to have got stuck on considering normally if they get stuck it is at the point it is going to play from ie. the beginning.
