On previous elections, does anyone remember when BBC World ran with its own coverage of a UK General Election?

I think it was 2005 or 2010 that BBC World had its own coverage with Nik Gowing sat in (I think) the News 24 studio with Janet Daley and another commentator around the table. At the time, I wonder what international viewers thought of what appeared such relatively small scale coverage from the BBC.

It was 2001 and it came from the Sport Today set, redone with a red version of the Vote 2001 graphics. Every other election they have taken the BBC One coverage, but I guess, with 2001 being such a foregone conclusion, it was viewed as not necessary to have it clog up the entire schedule - I presume they mixed the election coverage with news bulletins.
