I want to see the closedown where it plays the Diary and Copper Cutout idents with the signify notice voiceover played over them and then transition to the Ceefax pages
I'll tell you a bizarre true story. Around 1997, 1998, I started to hear a sound late at night, early hours. No matter where I was, absolutely anywhere, quiet or noisy, back of beyond or a populated place, I'd suddenly hear a sound. If I were with company, I'd ask if they could hear it too. Invariably, they couldn't. I became intrigued. They too became intrigued. Night after night, for months. Then, late one night, I was watching BBC Two and it came to closedown. The mysterious sound suddenly arrived again. Only this time, there was a very obvious, traceable source. This time, it was coming from the TV. I'd finally discovered what the sound was, it was the dual-tone over the testcard. But... why had I been hearing it without a TV anywhere nearby? *HOW* had I been hearing it without a TV nearby?! I switched the telly off... I could still hear it! Clear as a bell, shifting left to right in the same tone and rhythm. After that, you could have tested me under the strictest laboratory conditions and I would have been able to tell you the exact moment BBC Two switched the tone on every night. I stopped hearing it around 1999, maybe a little earlier. I think they simply stopped doing it. But to this day, I am completely at a loss as to how it was possible for me to literally hear BBC Two, just naturally. I swear to god, that really happened.
Yes! I have had several large metal fillings since my early teens. Oh my word, I have never considered that! I've heard many stories about this phenomenon, most famously the case involving Lucille Ball. Despite knowing of the stories, I never made the connection with what I have experienced myself.

BBC2 England directors preferred to use a variation of the '2' identity symbol at closedown around this time. If Ceefax was used as the overnight gap filler the announcers could have spoken over the static start caption before the music started playing.
can you do the bbc1 Breakfast edition of Concorde's Last Flight presented by Dermot Murnaghan at Heathrow and Sian Williams in the studio 06:00am to 08:58 with the two reports and the 3 interviews
This is real old skool now. How pleasing to see Test Card F again.

Yes! I have had several large metal fillings since my early teens. Oh my word, I have never considered that! I've heard many stories about this phenomenon, most famously the case involving Lucille Ball. Despite knowing of the stories, I never made the connection with what I have experienced myself.
