Not sure if this has been posted before: someone has put the BBC Breakfast Show from 10th April 1992 on YouTube.

A quickie for you - the Leeds Central byelection result from 1999 The next day I told my mother that the by-election had been wn by Hilary Benn. She recognised the name and asked me if she was Tony Benn's daughter. |

BBC Parliament, 8 pm on Sunday night, looks interesting: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09jm36nI thought this was a repeat of the rather disappointing documentary from the other year but it's new. |

I imagine that'll be the same as all of these things are: they're never as interesting as they could be... The last ones always make me really interested in seeing the earlier ITN election coverage though since they seem quite different from the BBC style and I'm boring enough to find that sort of thing interesting. Incidentally david Boothroyd I've spent far, far too many hours watching the old stuff that you've put on youtube over the last few years; I thought that especially the stuff on the Devolution referenda and the 1999 elections was very interesting to see, since I was too young to really care about that stuff at the time. It is rather disappointing that they don't use some of the time that they have during large gaps in the recess to occasionally reshow some of the more... unique stuff like that but I'm pretty sure that they never will and it'll just continue to gather dust in their archives. I'd be interested in seeing the 79 devolution referendum coverage because that was a pretty big thing in UK history, but I doubt that anyone outside the BBC has a copy of that and the BBC missed whatever chances they had to perhaps show it during the Indyref campaign or something. |

Watched this programme on iplayer today. David Butler and John Curtice are stars. The 2017 BBC dress rehearsal was 'interesting'. Managed to spot Halifax & Wolverhampton South West going blue. The swing for Wolverhampton South East was bang on but the figures...Lab 19979,Con 10784, UKIP 5263, LD 576, Green 272... |

If you start watching the 1997 Election Results at 16:40:36 on December 31st then Tony Blair will tell you that “A New Dawn Has Broken” at exactly midnight

The swing for Wolverhampton South East was bang on but the figures...Lab 19979,Con 10784, UKIP 5263, LD 576, Green 272... Having recorded it on Sky Q here are some more snippets from the rehearsals: Dunbartonshire East (Lib Dem GAIN from SNP), Wolverhampton South West (Lab GAIN from Con), Wolverhampton South East (Lab HOLD), Walsall North (Con GAIN from Lab), Peterborough (Lab GAIN from Con), Croydon Central (Lab HOLD) And if you look at the map next to that result graphic, it shows: Clwyd South (Lab HOLD), Montgomeryshire (Con HOLD), Brecon and Radnorshire (Con HOLD), Clwyd West (Con HOLD) On a similar note the 2005 three party battleground (now broadcast in HD) shows what I thought at the time was correct. When the exit poll is fed into it and you see a large number of Lib Dems in the Labour sector and the camera zooms into the Con / Lab marginals there is a Lib Dem right in the middle of a cluster of Labour seats but as it spins around to the Lab / Lib Dem marginals there is a Lib Dem seat right at the back of those Labour seats (suggesting to me that they knew that Brent East would be a Lib Dem by-election HOLD) |

The first byelection to the Scottish Parliament. Goodness me, I never even recognised that as Nick Robinson. |

I have always understood the BBC's election graphics to read "Colour of winning party at election being contested underneath white text of name of constituency with bar of party defending seat at right of bar" so therefore we have Lib Dem Yellow Dunartonshire East with SNP Yellow Conservative Wolverhampton South West with Labour Labour Wolverhampton South East with Labour Labour Croydon Central with Labour Lib Dem Yellow Colchester with unknown colour Conservative ???ton with unknown colour Conservative Walsall North with unknown colour Labour Peterborough with unknown colour |

I'll take that as a yes, then. Labour didn't hold Croydon Central going into June's election and they'd already regained Wolverhampton SW from the Tories in 2015 IIRC. The Lib Dems had already lost Colchester before last year too!
