[Steve in Pudsey]

The Snooker starts at the top of the hour so of 5Live chucked in a couple of trails at the bottom of the hour before that could be very clean. The challenge will always be a programme starting at any other time as presumably 5Live don't need to hit quarter or half hours usually. 

That said the audience interaction on this programme is going to always make this harder.

It's a live programme with presumably limited amounts of pre recorded material. A simple opt point in the broom cupboard tradition "goodbye Northern Ireland" shouldn't be difficult.
