[00:00:00] PROGRAMME: the final seconds of the lunchtime national weather, with Michael Fish.

The full forecast can be viewed via the RELATED ARTICLE link below.

[00:00:13] IDENT: the standard BBC One globe symbol is used to link into Grandstand.

[00:00:18] PROGRAMME: an edited down version of the first hours of the programme, providing footage of the graphics packages used for various sports: cycling; judo; athletics; hockey; horse racing (including RTÉ’s graphics).

There’s also a break for a lunchtime national news bulletin:

[00:08:36] PROGRAMME PROMOTION: for A Fatal Inversion.

The drama airs tomorrow at 9.05pm on BBC One.

[00:09:06] IDENT: a brief appearance of the BBC One globe symbol, which should’ve been used here by the announcer to link into the news. But it looks as though there might’ve been an issue with the network control vision mixer, as we cut almost immediately to the news.

Note the lingering cue dot, which also points to a technical issue here.

[00:09:07] PROGRAMME: Chris Lowe presents the national news.

The programme includes packages by: Matthew Amroliwala; John Harrison; Gary Hudson.

Note the special closing music, used during Saturday daytime only.
