A bad month for Runcorn.  BBC3 Controller Zai Bennett confirms, unsurprising that there's no room in his schedules for any more Two Pints Of Lager And A Packet Of Crisps (unless they are repeats). The yoof sitcom was set in the town, and first piloted in 2000.   In the same year, one Rebekah Brooks, native of Daresbury on the fringe of Runcorn, was being appointed the youngest editor of a national newspaper, the News of The World, at the age of 32.
