Just before the end of Part 2 during tonight's Millionaire quiz (as one of the YTV Announcers calls it), the programme was cut off by a breakbumper and a British Gas advert.
After the advert we returned to the programme, and it was time for a break.
Surprise surprise, the first advert was one for British Gas.
Saw the entire programme without technical hitch - did anyone see that dreadful technical hitch at the beginning of the National Lottery Jet Set, where the title music failed to play, Alan Dedicoat spoke over the calls of the director (who should have been blocked by the theme music), and the whole thing looked shoddy.
They were having great difficulties with their titles inbetween rounds last week.
I had thought Alan Dedicoat's opening introduction was pre-recorded because its normally exactly the same every week.
Ooo, he will be upset!
Why pre-record when he's there?
BTW, I thought Mr Holmes was very unprofessional this evening. He made reference to the two returning girls 'showing lots of flesh' then letching at their cleavage the whole time. Naughty boy!

The same happened on Look North earlier this week, the headline bed played throughout half the opening titles!
Nice cockup on South East Today today, the presenter ended with the usual 'bye, next bulletin etc..' and then it cut to some sort of report (on UK Today??) before she returned, apologised, and said exactly the same speech she said a few seconds ago! We then stayed on the rather nice SET end caption for ages.
Nice adlibbing by Ant earlier - when Dec fumbled his words - '..and you had a lie-in this morning as well!'
