BBC Two Northern Ireland closes down for the night.
Video content
[00:00:00] PROGRAMME: Suzanne Charlton with the late-night weather forecast.
[00:00:32] CLOCK: the standard BBC Two Northern Ireland clock.
BBC Two Northern Ireland had some local programming earlier in the evening, resulting in the timeshifting of some network programmes.
Oddly, the BBC Northern Ireland announcer let the network announcer do the talking here. Network BBC Two will have closed down a little earlier that night (1.33am).
The local continuity director mixed back to the recording of the network closedown to take the clock background image and the network-branded ident.
[00:01:09] IDENT: an announcerless playout of the Car ident.
