Top of the hour at 2300...no countdown; straight from weather and Peter Cockroft to Peter Dobbie. No stings; no headline VT. Peter went through the top stories directly to camera...then on to the main story.

All back to normal again now.

Server crash?

It could have been, but I think it was due to the weather over running, and possibly the gallery weren't ready for Peter Dobbie and the headlines!

Well. After Breakfast on N24 there was a static BBC News Pic and the countdown MUSIC started from 90 at 59 and half mins past. Then the countdown continued while the headline bed started. VT Ran but gave up after the first clip and the presenters apoligized for it.

Then at 9:30 the Women on World didn't know when she was on. Nor where the screen to her right was? She was too busy wanting her face on the camera when she should have been looking at her screen.

What was she? DRUNK!

It was most likely to be a server problem. Either that or one of the members of staff had probably fallen asleep on his late night shift!

I remember a similar thing happening earlier in the year, where they went straight from the weather to the countdown, did the headline bed and read out the headlines directly to the camera. But I think that was with 2 presenters.
