I’m pretty sure TM and TTTP promos were live. Around 1993, I saw a TM trail go to air after the 9.25 quiz show, which was just Richard and Judy in vision on the set, and I believe at some point during this trail Granada went to feeding it “clean” to the regions so they could run their ads or local news. For some reason, Tyne Tees stayed with the trail for a good ten seconds after R&J had finished speaking, and we saw Richard pick up a plastic coffee cup from out of shot and put it (back) on the desk/table in front of him, then a runner approached Judy with some paperwork and she said “just leave it on the desk, please, Rona/Rhoda” before we finally faded out and went to the ads or whatever was next. Quite an amusing booboo; shame I didn’t have it on tape.
