I love the beginning theme, and the graphics were advanced for their time.

I am way too young to remember this the first time around, yet I still feel the tension of an election night seeing these clips on YouTube. Probably more so due to the graphics, set design, and knowing who the victor was. As well as standing the test of time, it has all the intrigue and jumpiness of a gothic horror film.

This was when David Dimbleby first presented the show and he's done it ever since! I think he's got one more in him in the 2015 Election.

@pipoo1 Re: "Tory dominance": "down to" etc: how about the so called Falklands factor :-)

Big Ben will be telling the correct time whenever it appears "as if by some computerised magic". Hard to imagine such a thing!!

Ahhh, the 1970's, a time when smoking a cigar live on air during an election night broadcast was acceptable.

My family came from Devonport, meaning that if I was alive and a British citizen, I would have voted for David Owen, meaning a vote for Labour. However, if the elections were conducted like they do here in America, I would have supported David Steel.

Love the cigar chomping self indulgent Robin Day

@pipoo1 Thanks. Seems insane that they allowed that to happen, rather than just make seats have more people in them.
Agree about the Tory vs Labour voter thing too - apparently the Isle of Wight (Tory) has 100,000 voters in it when it's meant to be around 50,000 per constituency. Rotten Boroughs are still alive and well...
