Laura Kuenssberg and Clive Myrie helm the BBC’s coverage, while Emily Maitlis and Krishnan Guru-Murthy do things a bit differently on Channel 4. Plus: more juicy drama in Douglas Is Cancelled. Here’s what to watch this evening
9.55pm, BBC One
Is time up for Rishi Sunak and his Tory government? After what has felt like the longest, least inspiring election campaign in UK history, it is finally time to find out. All major channels will be covering the event throughout the night and well into the early hours of the morning (get the supplies in), including Laura Kuenssberg and Clive Myrie for the BBC. They will be helped by political editor Chris Mason and his correspondents, Jeremy Vine with his famous swingometer, and Kirsty Wark, Fiona Bruce, Victoria Derbyshire and Naga Munchetty who will be dotted across the nation. At least there’s one guaranteed good bit of news here: no more nauseating TV debates. Hollie Richardson
This is the best summary I could come up with:
After what has felt like the longest, least inspiring election campaign in UK history, it is finally time to find out.

Douglas (Hugh Bonneville) is told it is the only way to save his career in the second episode of Steven Moffat’s fun cancel culture drama.
Its coverage will be anchored by Kay Burley, while Labour’s Andy Burnham and Conservative Ruth Davidson will offer analysis, and Sophy Ridge will pick up the pieces the following day.
9.45pm, Channel 4 Emily Maitlis co-hosts with Krishnan Guru-Murthy, alongside Alastair Campbell and Rory Stewart – who will doubtless revive the cosmetic disagreements featured on their podcast.
