CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: Cops eat doughnuts. Coppers eat cake. That's the distinction between US and UK police - same ethos, different recipes, that's all. On the streets of Belfast , as the crime drama Blue Lights returned, PCs Stevie and Grace (Martin McCann and Sian Brooke) were bonding over a bake during a quiet moment on patrol. She unclipped her Tupperware box suggestively and urged him to try a slice of 'fifteen'. The Beeb has a grand wee tradition of policemen from Northern Ireland - Adrian Dunbar as Line Of Duty 's Supt Hastings, James Nesbitt 's morally ambiguous DCI Brannick in Bloodlands, all the way back to James Ellis as PC Bert Lynch in Z Cars. But none of them, as far as I can recall, ever tucked into a wedge of fifteen on screen.

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.'
