Impressed by the live continuity though. I had assumed that Living continuity was pre-recorded. I half expected a another Virgin or BBC announcer to mention something!

They've been doing live, in the evenings at least, for a while now. Not sure why but I suppose if they're doing lots of live things that would explain it

Surely this is related to ITV News at Ten being decamped to Millbank last night due to power cut at ITN.

News at Ten came on air at 22.52

Possibly, I can see how that could have happened if someone somewhere routed the wrong line from Millbank onto the line going into Living. Quite likely as the routing for the news would have been adhoc than booked or routine. Someone could have used that line not noticing that it's in use.

I would think that it's fairly likely that one of the control rooms at the BBC were helping out ITV by routing Millbank to them in the absense of ITN? The fixed lines from BBC Millbank to TV Centre would be working when the ones from ITN Millbank to Grays Inn Road wouldn't be usable

Where was Most Haunted Live coming from? Could it have been routed via Millbank? (There are a number of receive points there)

Alternatively it could have been a switching problem anywhere from the receive point to the playout area - and the various routing areas (possibly CCA at TVC, ECA at Broadcast Centre etc.)

The Sky EPG for Living + 1 seems to have the programme 'Medium' missing. It started on Living at 00:00 so should be on Living + 1 at 01:00 but the Living + 1 EPG has Most Haunted Live going on until 02:00.

EDIT: Emergency over! They are showing Medium even though the EPG says there is an extra hour of Most Haunted. The 'problem' will be gone at 02:00 anyway.
