BBC Two closedown, 2nd January 1998

This is one of the last times BBC Two closed down completely at night, as from later that year (maybe even that month?) Pages from Ceefax or Test Card F would fill any channel downtime. The end of the film 'The Umbrellas of Cherbourg' into the skiing forecast with John Kettley, followed by the clock and a clean version of the 'Zapper' ident to bid us goodnight.

Why would they be showing weather reports for mainland Europe?

For Brits who were going skiing.
