This week, ITV Wales are using Tuesday 1930 and taking Tonight at 1930 on Thursday just like 'network'. ITV Border Scotland don't seem to have a peaktime opt this week, but last week used Tuesday 1930 and took Tonight at the same time as 'network'. Plus I'm sure some weeks the nations have more than one peaktime opt - presumably as 'network' has new Breaking Dad and For The Love of Dogs currently, plus no Friday 30 minute slot, the nations are 'light' on opts, and they will make up their annual quota when 'network' has more repeats or lower profile shows
