Apologies if this has been mentioned already -- but having just watched the countdown at 1000 GMT, I was surprised to see that the news following it didn't have any titles -- just the headline bed and then the presenter saying welcome.

Is this a regular occurence now - not having any titles?

No, it must have been a mistake or there was a problem or something.

They done that yesterday aswell after the countdown the newsreader red the hedlines and in the background you could hear the BBC World ident being played instead of the countdown.

Techy Peep said in a different thread that News 24 and World were having serious computer problems...
