Well there were some strange happenings at 1600 and 1700 today! At 1600, as usual we got the regular News 24 ident at the top of the hour, and Philip Hayton said 'This is BBC News' (as if it was going out on World as well). At 1700, we got the normal headlines with Phil followed by the BBC News (overnight) ident! Did one of these go out on World or something, or were they both cock-ups?!

I noticed aswell Rob, but I don't think they went out on BBC World, because I looked at the screen behind Philip and I couldn't see him on BBC World. I hope you know what I mean!
