Newsnight closing credits fail to appear

The closing credits for tonight’s edition of BBC Newsnight failed to appear.

It looked as though a special closing sequence had been prepared, on the back of the programme’s budget coverage.

A graphic was overlaid over a wide shot of the studio – but no credit text appeared. The sequence – including the theme tune – seemed to be re-cued, before moments later, the programme was taken off air, and the weather bulletin started.
