Avon

Police Scotland

2. According to Alan Dedicoat, how many of his BBC colleagues buy illegal drugs from the monthly drug delivery man?

At least 50 per cent.

Only the lower grades.

Only the senior managers.

Drugs? At the BBC? Never!

Yes, "Voice of the Balls" Dedicoat really did drop one (a ball that is) when he was caught on tape claiming that at least 50 per cent of BBC staff were routinely buying drugs across their desks. Sadly, in these times of BBC austerity, it appears the lower grades can only afford the odd ecstacy tablet.
