[00:00:00] PROGRAMME: the final seconds of the film, The Sound of Music.

[00:00:12] PROGRAMME PROMOTION: for The Player.

The film airs tonight at 10.20pm on BBC Two.

[00:00:43] PROGRAMME GRAPHIC: one of the standard BBC One slide templates – for That’s Showbusiness – Movies Special!

The programme is on BBC One now.

[00:00:51] PROGRAMME GRAPHIC: standard BBC Two slide template – for Slice of Life.

The programme follows in 30 minutes on BBC Two.

When the slide is initially cut to air, if you look very carefully (look at the BBC Two logo and programme title text) you’ll notice the slide briefly moves down and back up vertically, twice.

This was a known issue with slide transitions in the then relatively new network control areas. It was resolved early in the new year.

[00:01:00] IDENT: one of the standard BBC Two idents is used to link into the next programme.

[00:01:09] PROGRAMME: the opening minutes of University Challenge.

Presenter: Jeremy Paxman.
