'The Celtic Fringe: Westminster Elections In Scotland And Wales, 1970-2010, A Complete Record' by Grant Toway is now available on Amazon. At first glance, this book may seem to be primarily a statistical guide to the 1,200+ constituency contests in Scotland and Wales covering the last four decades, but there are also brief comments which accompany each and every result. The author has also compiled a number of appendices as well as providing his own commentary on the unfolding events.
@Maino88 Maybe the BBC for future British national elections should do what U.S. networks have long done for national election nights: While they produce national coverage for the full network, local affiliated stations get seven minutes each half-hour to update election results in their regions.

I quite agree the theme music as nowhere near as good as Rick Wakeman's King Arthur, but at least it's better than the horrendous dirge used in 2001.

What a waste of money having different election night programs in Wales, Scotland and NI. Terrible waste.

Maybe BBC could do something similar next time.

@anchorman87 Welsh tafia think they can do it better. But they can't.

What happened to the old theme tune? Much better than this news style theme. Typical BBC - dumb down.
