"Thanks everyone, I couldn't help you I didn't have any scripts!" - hahaha one last dig at the production crew! Marvellous. Any idea what the producers' reply was that gets cut off at the end of this clip?

@AccordionManiac Yes it's VT that they're saying and it means videotape. That's what the reports were run on.

@gottagothatsme Probably high band Umatic tape in those days, probably before Betacam SP.... think BBC News went to Betacam SP in 1988-ish.

Funny i remember a 1992 fault where the One O'Clock News theme played again during a VT. I was young at the time but I always remember it!
