Question Time, if played in from tape, would've been cued with a 10 second lead...as was generally the norm back then. It wouldn't have been cued from the opening frames of the programme.
So, not quite understanding why the announcer seemed completely unaware, until a fraction of a second before the programme appeared on air.
Or, possibly, she thought she had enough time for a generic "This is BBC 1" announcement.
