Technical problems on BBC One just now.

Began during the credits of the previous program, then we had the news and most of the weather with a black screen (but with the sound).

From that description it sounds like a regional opt out went wrong. Were you watching SD in England?


I witnessed the same via BBC1 HD

Correct. What's more, I still have the capture.

From posts in the South and South East thread in the Newsroom is sounds like a quite complex failure.

With the previous programme's credits failing I wonder if the failure was in pres, when they tried to do the ECP? The observation that all was ok in Wales and NI and only momentarily screwed up in Scotland suggests that the clean feed to the nations was fine.

Apparently Southampton failed to opt, I wonder if they missed the cue in and amongst the likely chaos on talkback while pres tried to get things back?

Yes that sounds about right. Not that complex in itself but the knock on effects to the regions complicated it massively.

Has anyone else noticed the terrible kerning and tracking on the 'Subtitles' legend on some of these awful idents. Leading into EastEnders on NET1 looked like 'Sub t i tles'

After half a year gone and half a year of "Oneness", I am baffled as to why the falling O of 2016 is still in play. How do you guys feel about the idents now? Have they grown on you? Are they improving with each new one? And why has Mountain Rescue been dropped? Questions, questions, questions!
