 in London tonight London Tonight is the flagship news programme in the ITV London region. Produced by ITN, it broadcasts at 6pm every weeknight. Like all ITV plc regional news programmes, it uses the generic ITV font and idents.  at the premiere of Bride and Prejudice.

The movie by Gurinder Chadha (left), the director of Bend it Like Beckham, gives Pride and Prejudice a modern twist and puts it in an Indian setting.

The movie has so far received mixed reviews.

Bride and Prejudice is released on October 8.
