I thought there was going to be news of a real breakthrough yesterday, when during the BBC 6 o'clock news they announced "breaking news in the Madeleine McCann case". They even wheeled in their correspondent who normally reports from Portugal, to give us this news.
It turns out it was only to report that the Portuguese detective leading the investigation has been sacked for accusing the British police of helping the McCanns to cover up their role in Madeleine's disappearance.
