"As RTÉ lurches ever closer to financial armageddon, we examine how the cutbacks are kicking in to programming."

RTÉ are continuing to make cutbacks and this means a lot of changes to try and save a few million euro. The cutbacks are starting to sink in to programming, so Primetime is taking a look at the effects being felt across Montrose.

The prizes on Winning Streak were the first to be revised - spinning the wheel could get you a windfall of... €8??

You would think the Angelus is untouchable, but now the State Broadcaster can only afford one bong.

And Maura and Daithí are feeling the burn too - their guest chef Neven Maguire wasn't left with many ingredients and had to see what could be done with some cream crackers with butter.
