Wussy compromise or sensible transition ? The tussle between David Dimbleby and Huw Edwards to host the nation's big decision night has been resolved. Dimbers gets Election 2015, until 7am the next morning, when Huw takes over through to 10.30pm (with Dimbers to follow with an Election Question Time). Dimbers has given up on Election 2020, when he would be 81.
Dimbleby also gets to warm up the new Elstree set-up, for the local and European elections in May this year; Huw will do the Scottish referendum result.
Expect this 2015 splitting of night/day roles to continue, to assuage the competing demands of Andrew Neil, Jeremy Paxman, Jeremy Vine, Emily Maitlis and tyros like Laura Kuenssburg and James Landale.
