Well that episode in full with the credits is here:

And at the point Granada or whoever cut it off to the end-cap the unaired sequence was 20 seconds to the Sooty Endcap (not the Granada one, the one with Sooty) - and the delay in getting going was about 22 seconds, so they could have just left it and it would have finished on the Sooty endcap, but of course had to hem their own in!
As for playout issues with the last show of the day, not that I remember, though I do know Thames and Carlton did their own thing at the end of the day Friday because of the 5:15pm handover to LWT, and CITV would have been finishing close to 5:10pm in this era.
