In the early hours of Wednesday 10th October 2012, BBC Two faded to black for the last time on analogue in Northern Ireland, marking the start of the final phase of the UK's digital switchover.

To mark the 10th anniversary of the event, this video shows a side-by-side comparison of what viewers at home saw on analogue and digital as well as behind-the-scenes footage of the engineers "standing by to pull the plugs".
