Being really dull I happen to have checked the runtime of the three main bulletins (excluding adverts) on a couple of occasions and both times the News at Ten was 27 minutes, the lunchtime News at 1.30 was 22 minutes and the evening News at 6.30 was 21 minutes.
I expect that the 6.30 bulletin has been a little longer when there have been difficulties selling the advertising space but under normal circumstances it is shorter than most people think.
(London Tonight is usually 30 minutes long, I would imagine that the other regional programmes are the same).

yeah NAT normally ends 10:27/8 and the EN around 6:52/3(plus ads).
Probably changed a bit now, especially on Thursdays with the new 8pm soap hour, but usually Emmerdale would start around 6.58pm on Mon/Wed/Fri, and as late as 7.04pm on Tue/Thu, which of course means the Evening News could vary accordingly - though it's very rare it goes beyond 6.55pm.

Why do the titles look more realistic than the studio?!

I dont recall Emmerdale ever starting as early as 6.58 on Monday and Friday - Corrie often starts as late as 7.33/7.34 those night so if Emmerdale started early there would be a lot more adverts. On Wed Emmerdale tends to start early cos of Football.
