This is a BBC Two closedown from the early hours of January 2nd 1998 I found on an old tape, and must be one of the last times they signed off in this way, the clock followed by black screen and tone. Downtime would soon be filled with Pages from Ceefax and the clock would be replaced with an ident or just a straight cut into Ceefax, right up until that service ended in 2012.
Some might remember this on the old MHP PP site, as I uploaded it in a tiny bitrate with out of sync audio about 15 years ago - these last few months I’ve been redoing all those old uploads in better quality for YouTube using the original tapes.
