Yes, I agree. I see why they had to have so much filler and did spot them joining at the start of the next story. Oddest things for me were the cuts to the sound at various points - fair old bit of silence at times and the need to go to the short countdown, which they then repeated a couple of seconds of before cutting away. It felt a bit messy - they might have been better off just sticking with the long loop and fading that down at the appropriate point. It's a shame the don't have a super long edit of the filler for these sort of situations!
