Channel 4’s network of channels continue to suffer technical problems of varying magnitude as a result of Saturday’s incident at the Red Bee Broadcast Centre.

One of the more notable issues on E4 today occurred at the tail end of the 2pm junction.

An episode of The Big Bang Theory was restarted a number of times, with lengthy periods of black in-between.

A programme trail leading into the 2pm ident was also cut off prematurely as shown at the start of our clip:
