The most we might get to see is probably just some news channels or teletext services not changing their clocks at the correct time, which has happened in the past.

The byline for this thread is incorrect.

GMT will be back in the early hours of October 31st, so it's most definitely NOT over for another year.

And to be really pendantic, the time goes forward by one hour, not the actual clocks themselves.

If I was to put my clock forward, it would fall off the mantelpiece. Laughing

It would appear that the time on the forum has changed but not on the TV....

They don't change officially until 1am when they 'spring' forward (GMT+0100)

But when they 'fall' back (GMT±0000) they go back at 2am.

I was around 9 years old when I became aware of the twice-yearly clock changes and when I first heard the weatherman say "the clocks are going back tomorrow", I thought everyone had to take their clocks back to the shop... Embarassed Laughing

In the past The Paul O'Grady Show and Something for the Weekend have both fallen off air on the day of a time change. Bingo Night Live had problems and Roulette Nation have had to stop the game for an hour while they were on air during a time change.

I am not sure any of these problems were ever officially blamed on the time change, but us viewers never really get to find out what causes most technical problems anyway.

A heck of a co-incidence if they weren't all clock-change related though

You morons, clearly we all just leapt forward in time... that or my waiting for Doctor Who returning is becoming a medical matter.
