Video content

[00:00:00] TELETEXT IN-VISION: the final couple of minutes of an early morning Pages from Ceefax.

In-vision Ceefax on BBC One was very rare after November 1997, due to the overnight simulcasting of BBC News 24.

However, BBC One exited the BBC News 24 simulcast at 5.30am today, and filled up until the first programme of the day with Ceefax pages and music. Presumably better than having to leave BBC News 24 untidily mid-programme.

Can you identify the music playing here?

[00:02:05] PROGRAMME PROMOTION: for Toy Story.

The programme airs on Christmas Day at 4.40pm on BBC One.

[00:02:36] IDENT: one of the BBC One Christmas 2001 idents is used to link into the first programme of the day.
