For all you doubters out there Matt Phelps was the Network Director that night on BBC1 because I was the director on BBC2 ! We were in the NTA which was behind the south lifts in TVC, we both went to pres control to see the editor to find out what had happened as nothing worked, not even the U.P.S. so no emergency lights, someone had cut through the power in Wood Lane outside, The DTA upstairs eventually took over as it was white networking the channels but only had enough power to last about 10 minutes, as Matt said fun times !! TVC R.I.P. it really was the BBC at its best, now its just a shadow of its former self.

It would have been nice to hear the occasional "We apologize for the interruption in our programming. Our technical staff, which consists of interns we will not be bringing back next year, has decided to use the movie as a mock crime tape to relive some Law and Order episode. We have kicked the interns out of the controls room and are attempting to wind the film back on the reel. As soon as that is completed, we will resume the movie. Thank you for your patience."

Well I heard that the Digital Transmission area was taken offline and the analogue one (At the time two separate services) sent either audio or the caption+audio up to Pebble Mill which then transmitted that over network, as was the case for network redundancy. The change in text certainly indicates Pebble Mill's gallery putting something out, as TVC had these premade and standardised. The washed out colour change as well indicates older equipment.

Digital Satellite actually remained functional. Digital Terrestrial, on the other hand, was blanked-out.

I'm told in this specific power cut it was switching between analogue and digital albeit being routed from TVC's continuity suites via Pebble Mill's gallery B and back out to transmission...

I’m in the U.S. Breakdowns or technical difficulties, one of our names for it, used to frighten me something wicked. Even now my normal being goes into “Red Alert! Shields Up!” mode when something goes awry. I won’t go into what I experience when there’s suddenly dead air - no audio, (TV) no video. I expect our Emergency Alert System to come on with news of the most ominous type. “We interrupt our normal program at the request of the White House to participate in the Emergency Alert System”. Pray if you have them, friends. The outlook for the immediate and long term 12:20 is decidedly somewhat less than encouraging.

Ah, so thats what happened in those 10 minutes of downtime!! In North East and Cumbria at least (thus the 2 minute clip I have), we were out cold for the majority of it and only kicked back in around the 10 minute mark (where the second 16:9 switch above is)

BBC had a lot of breakdowns even during CBBC but at least if CBBC can't return to a programme then stand by programmes will be shown this happened once during Dick and Dom in da Bungalow the show was on BBC1 and the CBBC Channel it was taken off the air just before Creamy Muck Muck this resulted in the programme not being rebroadcast between 1pm until 4pm so stand by programmes had to be shown to fill up the time

The video starts with a black screen, with occasional flickers of analogue noise, before fading on to a breakdown slide. The background is orange and yellow - alluding to the BBC One branding of the time, which featured a hot air balloon that looked like an orange and yellow globe. Black bars letterbox the slide, as it is in 16:9 aspect ratio. The slide caption reads “We apologize for the interruption and hope to restore the programme as soon as possible.” At 2:29, the screen flickers, and the aspect ratio changes to 4:3 with the same background design. The caption now reads “We are sorry for the break in this programme and are trying to correct the fault.” While the average viewer wouldn’t know it, this slight change indicates that network playout has been changed from Television Centre in London to Pebble Mill Studios in Birmingham, which was designed to backup TVC in an emergency like this one. Pebble Mill was a major studio in its own right, but could only output 4:3 video to the network - ironic, as the studios were also host to the BBC’s first fully digital 16:9 studio. At 9:30, the output switches to the first 16:9 slide, meaning output has returned to Television Center, before switching back to the 4:3 slide for the rest of the video. Its unclear if the switch back was in fact a switch back to Birmingham for playout, or merely a switch within Television Center from using the 16:9 digital playout for analog playout as well before going to seperate analog/digital playout formats as was usual.

@@kilodeltaeight when the 1st breakdown slide appears it’s in 16:9 which is significant because when the image switches back to 4:3 from 16:9, in the 2nd aspect ratio switch, not only does the text change again but when red corner returns, the movie is 16:9 widescreen yet it is also cropped to 4:3 instead of it being letterboxed in a 4:3 frame, which most likely indicates that control was passed back to Birmingham while everything fell apart at TVC
