It's a sad day for us here at PM.

Eddie Mair | 08:29 UK time, Friday, 30 July 2010

Rupert Allman, who has been a tower of strength on this and other programmes in our stable for many years, is editing his final PM tonight...at least for a while. Rupert has been fired for the offence of "over-use of comedy clips during programmes" which as you know is rather serious.

As you can see from the photograph below (taken for tonight's Glass Box), Rupert and his deputy today, Fiona Leach, are having trouble coping with this emotional and trying day. Please be patient and understanding with them, and with all of us on the programme at this difficult time.
