David Amess death prompts BBC1 schedule changes
Have I Got News For You and The Cleaner have been pulled from BBC One's schedules tonight (Friday 15th October) following the death of David Amess MP. If the name of Amess is familiar to comedy fans it may be because he was one of the people duped into condemning the fictional drug "cake" in the Chris Morris comedy Brass Eye in the early 1990s.
