Strange voice on TV

During the showing of the Alfred Hitchcock thriller, Strangers on a Train, on London Weekend Television last night there was a sudden break in sound and a voice said: "Is this an emergency ?"

It was the voice of the continuity announcer in the studio rehearsing his script, the television company explained later.
