Well it might be in Scotland and Wales, but what about the opt outs for the regions in England ?

World caters for non-UK viewers. It gives a world perspective, even on events like a UK Election. Although it would be great for presentation reasons, most people would turn to over coverage because it's just no relavent.

Do you think it would be good to see a world perspective?

So, can anyone tell me (I've been away all week), when the regional opt outs will be during the election coverage, and whether they'll use the ordinary North West Tonight (for example) titles, or special ones, etc.

Can someone who gets BBC World, tape the election coverage or something, in case they use a special version of the BBC News titles,so it can be captured!!
