The 'announcer' here is a prerecorded sample bank, the on duty channel director was clearly hunting for the right one to play.
The clock change seems to have affected the relay in studio, as the game in question was completed elsewhere. I believe Bingo Night Live was more like a newspaper bingo contest than a truly random number draw, they knew precisely which cards had what on them, so the game was effectively a play out to identify a given card or cards as randomly selected from the registered games. A clock drift there could lead to the wrong game being played out with the wrong cards, and in that case it would be a bit of a catastrophe when sorting out the prizes. Probably best to stop, let the game time out, and sync everything back up to start again.
