[00:00:00] PROGRAMME GRAPHIC: BBC Two slide for The Last Tycoon.
From the novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, adapted by Harold Pinter and directed by Elia Kazan, Robert de Niro stars as a Hollywood film producer whose success in the movie world is not matched in real life. Tony Curtis and Robert Mitchum co-star at 10.25pm tomorrow on BBC Two.
[00:00:26] CLOCK: with the usual reminder that BBC Radio 2 is on air all night, it’s goodnight from BBC One.
There was possibly an issue cueing the National Anthem, which led to the mix to the globe happening a few seconds after 1.54am.
This was day one of this BBC One OSP and the first use of this clock at closedown.
[00:01:13] IDENT: this BBC One globe symbol plays at closedown for the first time. It’s accompanied by the National Anthem.
