I assume the Twickenham OB was just a small satellite truck with a single camera and running on its own genny.
If that failed they did well to get back up on the satellite as quickly as the closing credits.
Usually the HPAs require a 3 minute warm up from being switched back on.
As for the receiver at the Liverpool OB throwing out a caption, it depends what it is used for.
I set them to a red caption if I am watching my own feed back off the satellite, but if offering it on for transmission use then a freeze frame is preferred.
Changing that setting can be missed on a very busy show as this would be.

It's whatever the uplink engineer has chosen to identify the signal in as few characters as possible.
The service name is not in the public domain.
There is a bloke called Stanley Cassidy who posts the feeds he finds on websites.
After he found a load of mine, I did set one service name to "Hello Stanley".
He didn't find that one......
Interesting that it was called "Mo Twickenham" when Jo Konta was in the same place. ...

http://www.satelliweb.com/?section=livef&langue=en is the site where Stanley posts the feeds he finds if anyone is interested. Although using a satellite card with a blind-scan option is pretty easy to find them.

Doubt it considering they do the same trick every year of overrunning past 9pm so they get a hefty peak by capturing The Apprentice audience as well.
Was it just a case of the show running late and the satellite feed was booked until 9:00 only?

SPOTY has overrun every year, long before it started being shown on the same night as The Apprentice. Frank Bough talks in his autobiography about it always, without exception, running late in the seventies, saying the only year it couldn't was in 1978 because there was a work-to-rule on and if it didn't finish on time it would be faded out, and they were desperate for that not to happen because Prince Charles was presenting the trophy. So unless you have proof it's entirely done for cynical reasons, I find that a bit hard to believe.
For what it's worth, they were all wetting themselves in 1978 because Charles was still speaking with thirty seconds to go, and Frank thought he would have go back on stage and interrupt him to get him to present the trophy, but with no prompting at all he actually finished the speech and presented the trophy with about one second left, meaning they ended on time and Frank said "I could have kissed him". Steve Ovett, who won the thing, didn't get to say bugger all, mind.
