Not *specifically* the works-of-fiction bit (I've observed this during live viewing, returning from doing something else while the other programme was supposedly still on only to find that the film had already been resumed), but I can provide plenty of examples of schedule data - this sort of interruption is *very* common; barely a film goes by without one on some channels. However, the default timer margins should cover this. And on some other channels (ITV1) they put more than one programme in the way - that's to do with a commitment to showing news at 22:30.
