Brown looks chuffed. He's probably delighted there hasn't been a Labour wipeout.

How will Burley get back to London?

Wonder if Adam Boulton slept all day or whether he couldn't resist getting up to see what was going on :L

I have to say as dull as the BBC's (entire news) graphics are, they're far from intrusive and do get the job done! Nice Dimbleby/Simpson banter there - though I suspect this will be Dimbleby's last election, and despite him making odd mistakes here and there, Dimbleby is certainly a good broadcaster for these kinds of programmes. It'll be a shame to see one without him, though I think Marr or Paxman would get into their stride fairly quickly if they were to take over.

Northern Ireland is amazing! DUP losing seats to Alliance. Wow!

ITV been much better today. ITV already saying they'll win Kirkcaldy. Bit early Wink


When did they say that? I'm watching ITV and I thought I heard Alastair Stewart say Brown, who was shaking hands with Lib Dems in Kirkcaldy at that moment, would win brownie points or words to that effect. I don't think he literally said that Brown would win the seat, but correct me if I'm wrong!

He said, 'he's not going to lose here, he's got this in the bag'

Blunkett saying, I believe, that Labour have lost the election but that the "Anti-Conservative" parties should join forces.

OK. Thank you for the clarification! They have called it now, in any case.

I think the BBC's graphics are awful. The ticker, the animation, the font not alligned, a light coloured font. I much prefer Sky's. Plus their coverage is good. The BBC had a bit of a unsteady start but they are getting into gear now, and obviously will top the ratings. ITV going ahead with lots of results as always, good, relaxed show though.
