As an autumn GE was predicted I imagine some staff had booked holidays for June/July, making them unavailable unless they were able to hastily reschedule their leave. I also think the suspension and then departure of Huw left a gap in the BBC's plans, particularly as he didn't officially leave until April.Given that a handover of power is pretty much nailed on this time, the following morning is arguably a bit of a bigger deal than it is normally. Today went off air as normal at 9am after the 2019 election and was extended until 10am after 2017 (which may have been ad-hoc given the result, I'm unsure). Running through to midday is a bit of a change!
