The same thing happened on BBC East and BBC LDN. I think it was London's fault instead of the regions. Here's what happened:
---> REGION'S FINISH EARLY, switch to Gwenan Edwards saying goodnight and end titles of UK Today;
---> HUW EDWARDS just about finishes headlines and says 'Peter Sissons will be here at 10', only to be cut off mid-sentence by a subtitles ad.
---> BBC LDN run regional ad around three seconds after network
So, probably BBC NEWS gave the wrong timings out to the regions I suppose!

In the North, we didn't see Gwenan Edwards as I think Look North are more professional than that, and stayed with the look north studio.
The sound of UK Today was also mute until the end of the titles.
I didn't see the post-Huw trailer, as I'd already turned over to ITV1!

I think UK Today must have overrun or something - as network has to cut them up on the network feed then if they overran, the Six wouldn't have had time to cut it down by a few seconds so network would take over when the news should have ended.
Apparently UK Today do that quite a lot (especially with headlines at the start at 1, 6 and 10... and regions are not very impressed! It relies on a regional director watching network feed very carefully - here in Newcastle Look North we got a brief UK Today music snippet but then we just had the two presenters tapping pens before the six sting eventually started....

Same thing happened here in the East Midlands - It was a relief to hear Gwenan Edwards as opposed to Anne Davies stumbling over her words for a few more seconds!
