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?

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

EDIT: Why is it sticking a hello on the end?
MOD EDIT: Looks like the TikTok filter needs updating :/
