It's quite peculiar - there's nothing obvious in the w/s that I could see that would need such a mask. Is this programme too early for any digital stuff and could it just be a block of picture left as part of the fault?
Edit: There's a brief mix/fade to black and a feint horizontal line appears moments before for a couple of frames and then it progressively reduces down over a couple of frames to the rectangle remaining of the picture. Possible that it was a transition loaded into the mixer of whatever scanner they were using that was intended for another broadcast and used by mistake/as a result of a fault? The Central clip shows it more clearly but it extends from the top of Jim Rosenthal's head to the top of the screen.
