Children's BBC clock unveiling

In 1993 Children's BBC held a competition to design a clock to adorn the broom cupboard, with the winner eventually unveiled by Alan Yentob, then controller of BBC1. Here he unveils the design before sacking Andi Peters! Then into Round The Twist, and a closing link including a trail for Saturday's Parallel 9, Sunday's The O Zone (I think the announcement was a Childline concert they were all doing) and then straight into Neighbours, which means they must have been short of time.

Can you imagine them airing about a minute and a half of credits in full thesedays

Actually when these were repeated on Five in 2006 they aired the full credits, no squeeze or anything! (at least for the old ones I watched)

Not that I know of - may have happened on other occasions if they were short on time.

I remember watching an episode of Round The Twist on CBBC during March 2000 and someone wrote in complaining about the presenters constantly talking over the end credits.
