When I joined Granada - which, you don't want to start crying about these things, but Granada was a very, very hot place to be, it was my good fortune to be there at that time - the BBC was firmly asleep. ↗

Chemists employed by the police can do remarkable things with blood. They can weave it into a rope to hang a man. ↗
