In this episode, we take a closer look at the latest cuts at the BBC, where up to one in ten jobs are set to go as the corporation searches for £500 million in savings.

With warnings from unions, uncertainty over the future of the licence fee, and major decisions looming under incoming Director General Matt Brittin, this moment could shape the broadcaster for years to come.

And when the cuts are done, what will be left?
