BBC1: temporary fault and closedown - Wednesday 13th/Thursday 14th March 1991

[@zackdoesgamesmusic3469]

UK: "We sincerely apologize for the break in programmes, please bear with us a few moments." **music plays**
US: whoops **stops film**

BBC Radio 1 was only two months away from running a full 24 hour schedule. Up until May 1st 1991, BBC Radio 1 ended their programming at 2am, with BBC Radio 2 the only BBC station on air through the night.

You don't get personal continuity like that anymore. Nicely handled.

Very interesting that the "Temporary Fault" caption was still being used in the early 90's...

[@SOSOwner]

It was replaced when the new idents were introduced.

Looks like they were playing that film from a 1" VT copy.

[@mbvideoselection]

And at this point 15 telecine engineers within TV Centre were all shouting "WE TOLD YOU TO TRANSMIT DIRECT FROM FILM!!!!!!"
