Channel 4 Power Failure (c.2001)

It is normal procedure in television nowadays that there needs to be a back-up plan in the event of a major problem at the main television studios. BBC1 and BBC2 evacuate from Television Centre, London and allow the staff at BBC Mailbox, Birmingham, to run as normal a service as possible. ITV would normally evacuate from their main studios in London and run a service from Yorkshire's Leeds studios, but for Channel 4 in 2001 a power failure had meant that continuity from Horseferry Road had to be evacuated across to an undisclosed building in north London, where some continuity announcements along with some tracks from Paths Of Progress and Cruisin' from 21 Denmark Street were played over this caption comprising of Channel 4 backdrops which animate for one second in turn. Enjoy!!!!

ITV ran Channel 4 until the early 90s, so yeah this would be Channel 4's fault as its from circa 2001. Of course, it isn't since it's a mock but this particular user doesn't like to label them as mocks.

The rapidly changing colour can cause epileptic seizures. What a bad idea, ITV.
