Will there be a News Special tomorrow morning on BBC1 as there was one when the 2005 election was called.


I'd imagine so, I'll be aerial shots of Brown's car travelling through London etc.

Huw Edwards at Westminster no doubt.

I assume the Election Graphics for all news channels will be rolled out tomorrow. We'd had a hint at the BBC's over the past week, Breakfast tomorrow could well be the first outing.

I'm seeing this timetable widely reported now, looks like the Skycopter will be out just before 10am. The announcement itself will be 11am, it seems.

That's about normal timing, pop round for a cuppa with Liz and then back to Downing Street

I'm not sure what use the SkyCopter is in such a circumstance, it doesn't really add anything to the coverage and for quite a bit of the journey you can't see the car because of the buildings.

I should imagine most of the main BBC/ITV bulletins will come from 10 Downing Street tomorrow.

Lonodn Tonight is coming from the London Eye, so should imagine the main ones will too!

It went straight to Huw as well - on NC, it was done as a handover from Carrie and Simon; on BBC One, an ident and then Huw appeared. No special titles, no title sequence at all.

It's a shame they don't have any "BBC News Special" titles any more like they did during the ivory/China red era.
