Miscellaneous BBC Mishaps |
First up, BBC Northern Ireland encounter difficulties at the start of their 'Children In Need' broadcast on Friday November 16 2001.

Above: now, I don't think the VBI should be there now, should it?!?! |
A few seconds of a programme promotion appeared just seconds into the OB. Then back to Donna Traynor...and then a second or two of this... |
Above: the clock also managed to put in an appearance. |
We then returned to the OB where the VBI remained in the middle of the screen for the next few minutes. Joined Network at 1900 (for a few minutes) with sound out of sync with pictures.
On Monday 14 January 2002, Network BBC One encountered problems...
|
Above: the Network weather forecast was taken off air due to a sound fault on the feed from the weather studio (presenter: Darren Bett). The Network announcer took over. |
On Wednesday January 23 2002, it was the turn of BBC Two. This should have been the start of the 'Learning Zone'. Instead, this rather botched static BBC Two menu appeared [below] accompanied by the audio of the 'Learning Zone' menu rundown. There were a number of failed attempts to remove this menu. However, they did manage a live apology. |
Above: programme menu that appeared instead of the 'Learning Zone' [left]. An apology caption appeared after a minute or so. This remained in place, accompanied by music, for about ten minutes. |
Above: at around 12.40am, this caption appeared, telling us that the first OU programme had been deferred; another live apology, further spot of music, then fifteen minutes of filler programmes taking us up to 1am. Normal service was then resumed. |
