the BBC lost their feed from Euro 2008 Germany v Turkey game tonight. The first outage happened at around 9pm on BBC one and BBC HD, BBC one viewers were treated to Radio 5 live radio audio commentary after a short while whereas BBC HD viewers were only presented with an continuity apology screen then eventually given audio from Radio 5 live radio audio commentary. Normal service was restored at around 9:07.
