I'm currently doing an LLB, part-time day release. Fortunately being a blunty sometimes has its advantages!
I think it all depends on your job (if you can be released 1 day/week term time) and if your boss OK's it. I would highly recommend an attendance course over a correspondence when it comes to higher ed.
Pop down to your friendly ed centre and speak to the education and training adviser (usually a civvie nowadays), helped me out loads, they even phone around the uni's on your behalf.
Hope it helps,
good luck
