I see that ITV went straight from GMTV into Tricky. Do we know who was networking Tricky and who made the apology over the caption?
I assume that was a generic apology going out to the network and not a regional one, although some regions may have noticed the problems earlier and stuck their own apology slide up. In this era of ITV (late 90s to 2002) there seemed to be an element of a “presented feed” with some shows - when previously responsibility for covering breakdowns usually fell to the regional contractor (a notable exemption being that PPB that fell off the air several times and presented blocks like schools programmes and sometimes CITV, which Tricky probably falls under).
