The programme airs from New Year’s Eve.

Note this trail is locally branded. Usually, only trails for BBC Northern Ireland programmes or timeshifted network programmes carried BBC One Northern Ireland or BBC Two Northern Ireland branding.

We suspect a local version of this trail was produced because when transmitted via the network feed, picture glitches occurred. Such picture disturbance was not uncommon on the network feed (in Northern Ireland) at the time. The glitches seemed to occur when the video contained bright, frequently changing colours.
