BBC One regional variations this evening.

The One Show on at 18:35 in some regions but not until 19:00 in others. (August 2011)

It seems that network BBC One are showing The One Show from 18:35 but some regions (e.g. South East) are still opted out and showing the usual regional news programmes.

I guess this has something to do with the strikes today. Obviously some regions have managed a full half hour bulletin but others haven't so have gone to The One Show early.

A very stupid decision in my opinion. Why couldn't they have found a pre-recorded filler programme instead of some of the country having to miss the start of The One Show?

What is your region doing? Either way, it will be interesting to see what happens at 7pm when some regions go back to the network and join The One Show.

Fans of The One Show can watch online...

The North West had a Breakfast-like short one-headed bulletin, before going to the extended One Show.

Will there be a pause in the middle to welcome viewers in the other regions? Oh this is exciting! Real regional variations in primetime.

EDIT: What's BBC One HD showing? The One Show I presume?

John Young on BBC South East Today explained that the industrial action had changed the schedules and then introduced 'The One Show which is already underway'.

Look North have just crashed into The One Show, the presenters don't seem to want to welcome viewers who have just joined them.

Spotlight (which is where I'd ended up on the Sky box) introduced the One Show very briefly, but then had a local trail before crashing in.

Yes, TOS started on HD at 1835. Caused some confusion in the 4 regions who had normal bulletins.

Must have been a last minute thing. I agree it would have been easier to just have 5 minute bulletin on all regions.

I was watching TOS on BBC 1 HD, there didn't seem to be an obvious opt in point, I knew some regions had full regional news, so I was specifically trying to spot it !.

The One Show didn't have an opt in point because it seems that the regions just opted in to it whenever they wanted. BBC South East opted in to the network at around 18:50. South West and Yorkshire both opted in closer to 7pm but both at different points. I didn't catch what East Midlands did.
