CBeebies Christmas Pingu Episode Hijack (2007)

On December 17th, 2007, The Pingu episode titled "Pingu Helps to Deliver the Mail" was hijacked halfway through its airing time. At the time, Pingu was aired on CBeebies to celebrate the festive season. With a total of 158 episodes spanning across 6 different seasons, Pingu was proven to be successful. But however, this would take a turn for the worse.
The episode is completely normal at first, with Pingu's father setting off for his postman job, bringing Pingu along with him. They delivered packages to the other penguins who lived in the area. That is until they deliver the package to the jester-looking penguin. Everything seems fine at first, with Pingu's beak being slammed by the door like in the original episode. Then, after giving the package to this penguin, the part where the penguin makes Pingu jump off the igloo using the door was off...
Normally, Pingu would land on the snowy floor and continue on his way. Except halfway through the falling animation of Pingu, it froze in place, before cutting to black. The episode comes back, except every penguin is missing. It was like as if Pingu's hometown had been ditched, leaving only the houses there.
It cuts to Pingu, who is now in some sort of endless green hallway. He looks terrified, because he has never seen a hallway this long before. He waddles through the hallway, still scared like he was earlier. The hallway suddenly turns into a grey void, causing Pingu to jump. He was freaking out, like as if some weird creature was gonna appear behind him. It cuts to Pingu, who is obviously still scared.
He simply closes his eyes, before it cut to the credits. The HiT Entertainment logo appears, except below the logo, there is text reading the following:
"BEWARE THE GREY VOID. IT CAN CONSUME EVERYONE."
I was traumatized, who could've been responsible for this cursed hijack?! The screen cut to black again, before cutting to the breakdown screen. I don't know who would've caused some absurd hijacking in a kid's channel, but all I hope for is that they get arrested. To this day, I am still constantly reminded of the events from that hijack. and to end this off, I am saying one last thing...
Beware, the grey void.
