I have this on most of the day, I've seen this a few times.

I can only assume it's because they don't actually know how long they'll be, so they can't start a real timer, but an official answer would be nice

The holy grail is when the countdown starts in the 80 second range. The soundtrack is an absolute banger.

That, and Euronews countdown ident, absolute tunes.

    It is because of localisation. The BBC does not show the same content in all regions. The BBC supports 12 individual regions in the UK. News programmes being the most prevalent. This is how they realign from local content back to national content.
