Here's the explanation: the BBC had experienced a major power failure the previous evening and so a teletext data generator had been turned off automatically at that point so what happened next was that another teletext generator was in use to facilitate the broadcasts.
Actually I don't like the BBC2 idents we have now, they have begun to bore me. I still like seeing them a little but compaired to previous idents they are bad. . . all yellow whether as the ones from 1991 and the ones from 1997 had all different backgrounds whether as the ones from 2001 have all the same backgrounds,; yellow :s

You can also hear her trying not to laugh at the end there can't you? Either that or it's happy relief at being able to conceal it.

Why did they remove the clock? or not make it move? To save energy resouces?

Funny how the BBC tried to make it look as if this "Ceefax break" was planned! Excellent clip.
