My guess is that it was spotted but too late to do anything about it, and there will be an apology of sorts before the 1 o’clock news.

But to do that you’ve got to find the right file. Problem about sticking with the wrong one is that it has a knock on effect for the rest of the series in terms of publicity and billings. You can end up with a spare show when the run ends . But I won’t bore you with the technicalities- it’s the sort of tedious thing I used to get paid money to sort and thankfully I don’t have to any more .

I tuned in part-way and assumed maybe the Watt programme had been pulled for some current affairs reason (e.g. he’d said something politically-‘sensitive’ and BBC high-ups had suffered a collective loss of spine) - but indeed, I just checked on Sounds, and Sarah Walker did her lead-in to the scheduled edition, not the Rosenberg.
Remember, Baldrick, we are not at home to Mr. Cock-Up
The duty Baldrick is going to have an uncomfortable Sunday/Monday…"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

When it all does wrong for Blackadder.
Baldrick “ Mr Cock-up sir ?”
Blackadder “Yes Baldrick.”
Baldrick “Shall I prepare the spare bedroom?”
Blackadder (ruefully) “yes , I think you better had .”

Baron Berkeley of Knighton will be fuming …"...the isle is full of noises,

I think I read a few years ago that weekends on 3 were now (after Breakfast?) completely automated. No one at home to notice the error.It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

One of my earliest jobs was checking tape spools in continuity against the transmission list but that was forty years ago in the days of 1/4 in tape. Now I suspect it’s just staring at a screen and checking ident numbers.
