The only programming in the schedule covering the by-elections is a Politics Live special on Friday at 12:15pm.
When overnights came from London by-election results were usually covered live for UK and World viewers, but if there's no Politics Live team covering it for BBC 1, it's entirely feasible that there won't be any on-air coverage until 5am, or most likely Breakfast at 6am, aside from an update on the ticker.
An overnight UK opt produced by the NC during half term might not be seen as worth the expense.
