RE: TV Mistakes/Breakdowns - TesTVWhirl - 18-01-2023

From the lunchtime news on the BBC News Channel today, the BBC HD Testcard makes an unscheduled appearance at the end of the Sportsday segment from Salford. Cue some swift adlibbing from Jane Hill on the handback...

I was going to make a wry comment about it still using the 1997 blocks... then I realised, more baffingly, the BBC Sport screen still is too?

Dear me.

Slightly O/T, but is the test card still shown along with a sound sync test at the end of the overnight 'This is BBC Two' barker?

1997 blocks and for some reason they changed the "HD" to Gill Sans instead of using the diamond BBC HD logo

Yes, only the version that appeared on the HD channel had that branding.

A BBC Weather cockup has went viral after resurfacing on TikTok. (captured by Christian Jegard)

EDIT: Why is it sticking a hello on the end?

MOD EDIT: Looks like the TikTok filter needs updating :/
