I saw it, there was no smooth transition. The NC crashed out of Politics Live around 12:35pm with Chris Mason in mid-flow, back into studio E with a pause and then "you're watching BBC News" from Rebecca Jones, and onto the next story.

It works as a hello, goodbye, to fill time; anything at all. It also reassures the viewer when a messy opt does happen so they don’t think “is something wrong with my TV?”!
