Did anyone see it this morning?
It was quite scary!
Promos coming and going, the start of the 90 second countdown on a freeze which then started (late), then into another promo which was cut off in it's prime to another countdown clock (again at the 90 seconds).
Guess the automation had enough & went crazy

Then to add salt to the wound, Breakfast couldn't find the correct sound faders at the start of the programme - presenters not faded up, music coming in half-way through.

If you've got it on tape it is well worth looking back at! I didn't think about recording it Sad

And at 0859 there was no end sting to close Breakfast - just a long burst of the end string of notes.....

I got the strange ending to Breakfast. They used the full pre-title vamp and a still of the image on the plasma screen.
