Ah yes, I was on that night - we were testing a new DOG machine for BBC Marketing. Apparently it's just been installed on BBC THREE.

I suppose there's not much chance that DOG-lover Roly Keating will remove the bug from the Learning Zone... Sad

I saw the "flashing DOG" for about 10 minutes. Well actually it was a fade-in-and-out-dog.

At the end of the programme, there was an apology 'sorry for the technical problems' with an old style graphic. A picture of a girl with BBC TWO in the centre bottom of the screen.

I'm told the "girl" was Twiggy Smile

Was probably the announcers fault anyway, pressing random buttons due to bored-ness.


They don't give the announcers in London buttons to press!!


Probally far to complicated just having to read and speak at the same time, buttons would just confuse.

Oh, the one that said "COMEDY TUESDAY" last night. Or "TUESDAY COMEDY". Or something like that. They're really going all-out to capture the cretin audience on BBC Three, aren't they?

BBC Four having technical woes right now. On-air continuity rehearsals and a lovely green screen. Rolling Eyes


The minidisc is rehearsing?!


Have just found out that the minidisc was rehearsing Smile

The green screen thing was a separate problem.
