A vaguely named slot called "This Is BBC TWO" is on the TWO site, with a related link to BBC News. So I'm guessing it's just news of some sort.


"This is BBC TWO" usually means Ceefax. The link to the BBC News site is possibly just random.

It's a very fast paced Tone too. It's a shame that they couldn't wheel out any music like last night on Two.

Well, bit of a delayed announcement into Sombre Bounce, now we are stuck with the curse of the repeating tone on Ceefax! and I thought looped playing of "Bart" was bad....

BBC TWO 24/05/05 Bounce Sombre into CEEFAX; Tone...

It hasn't stopped yet...

Was there any music with this unscheduled Ceefax last night, or was it just tone?
