As in, having realised (and covered) the mistake, was the slide for the following YTV drama not only aired on LWT but was put out on the network, complete with Lewis's announcement? It would explain the lack of branding (one of the questions asked earlier). The hastily put up production slide I'd have thought would have certainly gone to network.

This might have helped out other TCs who would then not have to cover themselves.

I do not think the covering slide would have been put out to network by LWT, it was the responsibility of each individual company to cover for faults/errors/cock ups. To transmit the production slide to network would have required the network switcher at LWT to switch from the VT to another source (slide) and that was not their function. So where did it come from? Could have come from a local slide source, could have been on the tape already and by fluke came up, let’s face it, judging by what we see anything could have occurred. It was not at all unusual for all elements of a studio recorded programme to be laid onto the studio record tape during the studio recording and not always in the required final sequence.
