BBC Two crashed out of Family Brain Games into two trailers. Frozen iPlayer slide at the end of the second, then a breakdown caption.

Possibly the most exciting thing on The Family Brain Games.

What was weird was how they smoothly transitioned from the frozen trailer into an ident before starting a completely different programme.
Do these automated systems really have that much of a stranglehold on TX that it takes them so long to bring up a breakdown caption?

And we got a longer playout of Discovery out of it! I'd call that a win!
It showed how fluid the links are from trailers to programmes with the curve ident. It's beautiful his seamless it all is.
That was one heck of a breakdown

I've just watched this back on iPlayer. I'm wondering if that was the TV equivalent of an 'emergency tape' kicking in after three minutes of dead air with a still image and no sound. It really was a huge amount of dead air!
At least the breakdown slide is working properly now. A nice subtle animation in the background.

Whatever kit they’re using, it seems to be struggling to relinquish control to allow for a caption - I can’t believe the playout team aren’t trying to get one to air so it must be hugely frustrating for them to have so much dead air.
It’s like all they/it could do was play the 9pm junction.

There were different announcers on the ECP of the previous programme and over the breakdown slide. Have they switched to the backup facility perhaps? The original announcer was back for the 9pm junction.
Incidentally on that ECP the announcer used the off-brand phrase "Next on Two" without the BBC bit, which I don't think I've heard for about 20 years

Ha, glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that.

Interestingly BBC Two NI introduced Brain Games, then stayed with Network for the whole shambles. Which seems strange, I thought they took the programmes via a clean feed rather than the network feed, so they shouldn't have got those trails and the following continuity? Or do they do the junction on the clean feed then go to the dirty feed?
