That menu is a more generic design than what we got for 9/11, with Carlton serving up a GMG style hearts background.
Do we think every region would have taken it? Certainly by 9pm YTV were making their own (with a little glitch) www.youtube.com
Presumably it’s all because LWT were in ‘nominated contractor’ mode - would it be their responsibility to liaise with ITN and then relay that back to the rest of the network? I guess with the fluid nature of the schedule it made sense to not ask 15 regions to separately update a menu.
It’s still a fascinating day for presentation, even after all this time. Did we ever get an answer to how BBC Two came on the air that morning?
