WNED 17 Technical Difficulties 1988

As would happen quite often, PBS stations airing omnibus Doctor Who episodes would experience technical difficulties right around the transition between the 2nd and 3rd episodes of a given Doctor Who story. No idea why. This one occured during the Tom Baker story "The Hand of Fear"

I wonder why they had to put up the card... it looked like nothing was wrong with the video or audio.  How dare they disrespect Doctor Who like that?

Where's the cheesy elevator music? I was expecting to a muzak rendition of 'It's Not Unusual' or 'Up, Up, And Away'.

"We will return to this teleplay the moment anything interesting happens. And now, some freinds of mine ..."

Or any tune from Bert Kaempfert... :)

This happened at WILL-TV in Urbana, IL too! It was always a crude photo, I believe from "The Time Monster" with a lame "Dr Who" caption at the bottom and the theme playing over and over again. They'd use this card regardless of what story was being shown, or which Doctor.

Yeah it was City TV that had the Godzilla and the phrase "Not Much is happening we'll be right back."

I guess it must have been used on both stations at one point or another, since it was pretty generic. I remember it being used at least once on WNED, though.

I think CityTV was the one with the "Godzilla" Technical Difficulties card.
