But none of them, as far as I can recall, ever tucked into a wedge of fifteen on screen.

The bloodbath's body count is similar to a Line Of Duty-style murder spree, with the BBC aiming to cut 100 hours of television shows this year. Not one genre has been left out, with the axe sweeping everything from drama to quiz shows to comedy.

JAN MOIR: The kissgate storm is far from clear cut, although I do believe it to be an unfortunate occurrence for Rubiales; sooner or later, he'll have to leave, particularly after his gross claims that the kiss was 'consensual.' Even his uncle accepts that his destiny is sealed. Juan Rubiales told a Spanish newspaper that his nephew is a 'boy' who is obsessed with women and power, a 'cowardly man' whose greatest enemy is himself,' and that, in a'sane' sense, a person with no'slightest dignity' would be able to get out of this situation in a 'indecent way.'
