21:55-06:00. As BBC1 joins forces with BBC News 24 to bring through-the-night coverage of the general election news and results, David Dimbleby sets the scene for the night to come. At 10.00 there's the BBC News from Michael Buerk, followed by the Regional News, and the Weather with Michael Fish. Then at 10.35 it's back to David Dimbleby as he returns to anchor the programme, interviewing senior MPs and linking up with the BBC correspondents who are reporting from 120 key constituencies around the country.
Jeremy Paxman will be gauging reaction from politicians and pundits in the studio, while Fiona Bruce will be meeting a cross-section of the electorate, and discussing their voting with both winners and losers. Meanwhile Peter Snow will be on hand with his swingometer and an array of new graphics to explain what the results mean.
