No sound on the two recorders I was using. Was it just me?

No sound on HD but working on SD

No sound for me on HD recording either.

They apologised at the end for the lack of sound on HD.

Recored it on HD!Doh!Will it be on catch up later??

Aha!Just turned `audio description` on and I now have sound!

There was no sound for part of the programme on the HD channel, but there was sound on BBC1. I recorded it on 101 and the sound came back on again late into the recorded programme.

How on earth could they let it go on for so long without fixing the problem?

Few staff around at that time of the night. It probably isn't a live programme, having been recorded earlier.
Maybe someone just pressed "play" at 10.55pm and then went down to the pub. Later, someone coming back from the pub probably noticed there was no sound and turned it on.

Note.

The absence of any juvenile smiley in this post doesn't necessarily mean I was being serious.

I assume the repeat this morning was OK ?

It was a playout config problem (in London), not the originating studio, because (as with most 5.1 programmes) the 5.1 BBC One ident leading in to the prog also had no sound.

BBC 1 HD in Wales and NI were unaffected, because they can only support 2.0 audio, and Glasgow were far more on the ball and switched the audio to 2.0
