Elections Past

When the fillers for Elections 2005 weren't going too well a short Small Screen feature on past election night programmes was expanded to a full length programme that would be run on election night. Made very quickly in March 2005 Jonathan Bufton took every piece of Elections footage known to exist in the archives and edited the highlights together. Although nominally marking 21 years since the earliest known footage of election night, the name was kept non-year-specific so it could be repeated in its own right. It has since been updated to cover 2005 and 2006's Election Night programmes.

The music used was a piece of unknown origins culled from an earlier, far shorter elections retrospective from Election Night 2000 by John Biltcliffe.
