But it does give the broadcasters something to actually talk about for the first 3 or 4 hours, because at 10pm on election night nobody knows who has won yet

I think this is what is missing from present election broadcast nowadays. Everyone has to sit for up to 90mins talking about exit poll.

Yet go back to 1987 ITV had Spitting image election special from 10.05 - 10.45 . Was it 1983 election where the BBC repeat Mike yarwood xmas show? I'm sure even in 92 they had some light relief with Rory beamer.
