From job cuts to word cuts. And the BBC is expected to cut the number of swear words that appear on its TV and radio shows. The amount of swearing on the Beeb was much debated, of course, following the whole Sachsgate affair, with the out-of-favour Jonathan Ross known for swearing quite a bit more than the average chat show host.
The boss of BBC Vision, Jana Bennett, who is apparently responsible for clearing the use of "cunt" across the Beeb's TV channels ("fuck", meanwhile, is cleared by individual channel chiefs), told the Media Festival in Manchester that a review of bad language on the BBC had been launched following Sachsgate. She also told the Guardian Jonathan Ross had agreed to cut back on the bad language when his chatshow returns in the New Year.
The review follows a BBC Trust ruling on another bit of Ross - when he told Gwyneth Paltrow he wanted to "fuck" her when she guested on his TV show. The Trust last week described those comments as "gratuitous and unnecessarily offensive".
Bennett added that she didn't think any moves to cut back on swearing would harm "risk-taking" at the Beeb.
