Hello, an important date for your diary.
This Friday sees the return of this legendary newscast gimmick.
Surely you recognise that tune.
It's the return of Remoter Voter.
We are bringing back our election-themed gimmick because we are bringing back ElectionCast.
We 're going to be recording episodes of ElectionCast every Thursday with the latest on the campaigns
for the Scottish Parliament, the Welsh Senate and the English local authorities.
And then that episode will be appearing in your feed on Fridays.
And if you do n't remember a remoter voter from the first time around,
this is when you tell me your reasons for why you need a postal vote or a proxy vote on May the 7th,
because I love it, because it 's an amazing way of hearing the amazing things that you get up to in your life
while I'm sat here in the newscast studio.
So ElectionCast is back, recording on Thursday, coming to your ears on a Friday.
But what's coming to your ears now is a classic episode of Newscast.
Hello, it 's Adam in the Newscast studio, and shortly we will get a double dose of updates on doctor's strikes
in England, because there might be another one in addition to the resident doctors,
formerly known as junior doctors, who already have a strike scheduled for after Easter.
But first of all, we 're going to talk about the royals,
because the state visit by the king and queen to the United States of America is on.
It was confirmed today on Tuesday by Buckingham Palace that the king and queen will go to Washington at the end.
