The Department of Sport, Media, and Culture has decided that those last two parts of its name are superfluous and have cut £45 million from the planned London Film Centre, to be operated by the British Film Institute.

But they didn’t ignore the kids. A Night Less Ordinary, a programme encouraged love of theatre by providing half a million free tickets to people under the age of 26, was also cut, saving a princely £100,000.
