[00:00:00] PROGRAMME: the final seconds of the late film, Marnie.
[00:00:18] PROGRAMME GRAPHIC: standard BBC One Northern Ireland slide for Marnie.
This is a copy of the network slide with BBC Northern Ireland branding overlaid.
The announcer apologises for a brief technical fault during the film.
[00:00:26] PROGRAMME GRAPHIC: standard BBC One Northern Ireland slide for Psycho.
This is a copy of the network slide with BBC Northern Ireland branding overlaid.
Another Hitchcock classic tomorrow night when BBC One checks in at the notorious Bates motel.
The film airs at 12.45am.
[00:00:38] PROGRAMME PROMOTION: for 999.
The programme is shown at the later time of 10.25pm in Northern Ireland. Consequently the network trail has revoiced locally.
[00:01:06] PROGRAMME GRAPHIC: standard BBC One Northern Ireland slide for BBC Inside Ulster News.
A summary of the local news is read out-of-vision by the continuity announcer.
[00:04:08] PROGRAMME GRAPHIC: standard BBC One Northern Ireland slide for Weather.
The announcer provides a local forecast.
Note the side panel includes a visual of the Northern Ireland landmass – which was fairly typical for slides created for local programmes. The BBC Inside Ulster News slide included a more generic side panel, presumably because map imagery already featured prominently in the visual representation of the programme.
[00:04:38] CLOCK: a reminder that there are news updates throughout the night on BBC Radio Ulster, courtesy of the BBC World Service. BBC One is back at 6am with Business Breakfast. But for now, it’s goodnight from BBC One.
Note the announcer references “BBC 1” and not “BBC 1 Northern Ireland”. This was fairly common practice by local announcers during this period.
[00:05:11] IDENT: the standard BBC One Northern Ireland symbol is accompanied by the National Anthem.
