It'll be audio only however, since it was before the days of cameras in the Houses of Parliament.

Brilliant. 1992 is always one of my favourites as it was called as a hung parliament and of course the reality was actually far different. It meant that the method of interpreting data from exit polls was looked at and changed which ultimately gives us the unnervingly accurate exit polls of today.

It's well worth watching to see all the famous correspondents and presenters - many now departed. And all witness Jon Sopel having not aged a year since 1992.

1992 - my favourite year so far for titles, set and graphics, just superb. The best rendition of the Arthur theme as well.

I hope they broadcast the 'dirty' version with all the graphics. Previously, they've only broadcast the clean (no lower thirds etc).
