It aims to present the results as completely as last year, and perhaps more swiftly With three outside broadcast units stationed in London, the , and in the North, the Television Service hopes to scoop the world by showing some results as they are being announced. At 10.15 on Thursday night Graham Hutton will introduce the studio team: H. G. Nicholas, Fellow of New College, Oxford, and author of The General Election, 1950, and David Butler, Research Fellow of Nuffield College, Oxford, who took part in last year's programme. Mr. Butler has been commissioned to write the book on this election as the companion to Mr. Nicholas' volume. These experts will analyse the results as they come in and illustrate their analyses with diagrams and other visual devices. There will be brief visits to Richard Dimbleby at Salford, Godfrey Baseley in Birmingham, and Berkeley Smith in the London borough of Fulham. These commentators and O.B. cameras will be stationed wherever the results are to be announced.
