The BBC News At Six disappeared on BBC1 at 6.25pm after Huw Edwards explained they were having 'power problems'. Most regional news programmes began early and finished to hand over to BBC Presentation, giving weather details and introducing Euro 2000 coverage a little earlier than expected. Due to the power failure, programmes came from different studios with Newsnight from Studio N6 (The main BBC1 News studio) and the BBC News (going out at 10pm due to the Euro 2000 coverage) was from the BBC's Westminster studios.
5.20pm - Against All Odds (CBBC): The programme picture began to freeze up because of power problems. The presenters apologised, read some emails and brought a Tom & Jerry cartoon out for a couple of minutes.
6.20pm - BBC News at Six: The power to Television Centre had been lost due to a sub-station failure so the BBC were running on a backup generator. This packed in during the news and so the following breakdown caption and apology was shown.
6.30pm - No UK Today: The power to Television Centre had been lost so another apology for Sky Digital viewers who normally see the programme UK Today in place of their regional one except this couldn't be shown either.
6.55pm - Weather Update: The power to Television Centre had been lost so the normal forecast couldn't be broadcast. The continuity announcer therefore gave a brief weather summary.
6.57pm - Early Euro 2000: And after the weather summary another apology and this led into Euro 2000 few minutes early than expected.
Knew the backup'd failed too... didn't know it'd caught FIRE.Yikes.

Anyone else hear the strange sped up music and vocals underneath the announcement for the Ten O'Clock News? Presumably that went to air?
ITVNewsFan No, this was a result of recording onto a VHS tape that had been used many times. The announcement aired as normal
@@tvforum thanks for your reply :)
Chipmunks are hijacking the BBC!
@@hayleywaalen2612 OH NOO
Anyone have the technical fault from 3rd or 4th Jan 2003 on bbc1 during an FA Cup game. I still have the fault music in my head to this day. I remember thinking the scene was so iconic of the time and it personified the feeling of another new year venturing in to the 21st century. The visual backdrop was the cart wheelers on the roof of a skyscraper as a still image from the ident. If anyone can ever find that and upload it i'd be very grateful! Thanks
That full FA Cup match (it was Man City against Liverpool) was online with the technical fault, but it has since been removed, I remember the picture started glitching up for a few minutes before it gave up all together!
There was an unearthly amount of black screen before cutting to the fault caption, where the announcer was "really sorry" - sadly the music was cut, but I could hear a bit of it as it faded out, sounded like something from a CBBC programme! xD

At 55:51 during the match, that was when the feed went and went to a black screen before the BBC1 breakdown caption was shown. Its the closest I can get for you atm.
@@dalbsterlcfc92 There we go, that was the video I saw, glad it's still online somewhere.
Might download it just incase it gets removed again.
@@ThatBritishSnep Good idea, have you got it downloaded now?
@@dalbsterlcfc92 yup, it is back online on YT as well now
I hope they paid the announcer extra money as he seems to have been working overtime!
And while BBC One Satelite version transmitted the Uk Today replacement, the regions & nations went to regional news early, apart from London/South East, which transmitted Dad's Army, which most regions crashed back into at the end!
May be this is all the more reason to allow regions to have more control rather than having just 1 system and 1 backup system in London all the time.
They had a backup network control if something meant they couldn't or it was "unsafe" to broadcast from TVC. It was Pebble Mill in Birmingham, however it was only equipped for analogue transmission so if you were watching BBC Digital, I don't know where it came from but "the news from across the UK today" was Digital only. For all I know they could be using their third generator which was installed after the great storm of 1987. It could only power the network control area and one continuity booth, that would explain why digital got a "We're sorry for the interruption" slide. The DTA was equipped with an Automated output which was used here.
My nan was having a riot about it. If I were there at that moment I'd be worried because there'd be no football coverage for Euro 2000.
I'd be fuming, I like a bit of the Euro's (apart from the last final...)
Is the continuity announcer listening to music while introducing the News at Ten?
The backup generation
With power problems it is good just for the music
