Not so much the usual closing routine (despite the presence of announcer John Livesey), more akin to how BBC1 / BBC2 used to return to a 'trade test transmission'.

Great to see some subsequent continuity after all this time, video of the match itself has been online for a while. The issue with the match was that it had a 9:00am kick off and TV-am wouldn’t move, so Channel 4 was the solution.
When Channel 4 had the party conferences for a little while, there were gaps during the middle of the day, so one could hazard a guess that they’d return to the testcard in a similar manner.
