Bedtime for BBC Two.
Video content
[00:00:00] PROGRAMME GRAPHIC: standard BBC Two slide design – for Race with the Devil.
The film airs later today at 11.45pm on BBC Two.
[00:00:09] PROGRAMME PROMOTION: for Farewell My Concubine.
The film airs on Christmas Day at 10pm on BBC Two.
[00:00:52] CLOCK: with the usual pointer in the direction of national BBC Radio, it’s goodnight from BBC Two.
[00:01:12] IDENT: an announcerless playout of the Optics ident.
Test tone/GLITS kicks in a mere three seconds after the ident soundtrack is completely faded out. For many years – and up until mid-1995 – there would’ve been a 30-second gap of black and silence prior to test tone.
Test tone will have lasted two minutes here, before the overnight shutdown of the transmitter network was triggered.
