Since AP was the home of BBC News, why should this have happened. Much
more likely is that someone made "an Entertainment Tape" as a "spoof".

You can see it for yourself here. If it's a spoof then the BBC has
presented it in a rather misleading manner.

(The video - in nasty "RealVideo" format - purports to be a recording
exactly as broadcast, although I don't think they had work experience
juniors blindly cropping things to 14:9 back in 1964 so that
particular aspect of the presentation must be discounted.)

The item refers to "Robert Longman who was in charge of Engineering that
night". Actually Bob Longman (as he was always known) was The Engineer in
Charge of the TV Network Department (my boss) at all times, not just that
night. I can't ask him about it, since he died 15 months ago.
