List of The Cut episodes


The following is a list of episodes for the British BBC television drama, The Cut. The third series finished airing in December 2010 bringing the total number of episodes to 40 as 25-minute episodes and 200 as 5-minute episodes. The BBC have since confirmed that The Cut has not been recommissioned for a fourth series.

The following is a list of episodes for the British BBC television drama, The Cut.

The 15-part first series was commissioned by the BBC in 2009 and began airing on 19 September 2009 and concluded on 19 December 2009 with the last two episodes shown together as a double bill. Each episode is 25 minutes long but is split up into daily five 5-minute daily chunks online throughout the week before the official broadcast. The series was repeated almost immediately after it had ended.

The series started by introducing six main characters – Jay, Marla, Olive, Stephen, Mack and Toni. Fin and Rosa also appeared in the first episode, but initially played a recurring role and did not become regular characters until later in the series. Another character, Tommy, is introduced in Episode 9. Marla's mother Amy makes a guest appearance in Episode 11, before joining the cast as a regular in Episode 14. At the end of the series, Jay and Fin are written out.

In February 2010 it was announced that the BBC has commissioned a second series of The Cut with a 13-part series which again each episode would be split up throughout each week in daily five-minute chunks. Open auditions for a new male (Alex) and a new female role (Catherine) were held shortly before the second series began filming, although many young hopefuls impressed the producers, but were not suited to those characters and had characters written for them instead, resulting in a lot more characters being introduced in the second series. The second series began airing on 24 April 2010 and concluded on 14 August 2010. A four-week break was taken after the first 8 episodes due to Wimbledon and the World Cup taking place. No repeats as yet have been shown of the second series, probably because the third series started less than two months later.

In the first episode, Frankie, Cameron, Alex and Rory are introduced. Episode 4 introduces Catherine and Episode 5 introduces Elliott. In the first few episodes, Rosa plays an extremely important role before disappearing from the series without explanation. Tommy is written out of the series at the end of Episode 6, but later returns at the end of Episode 12, just before the finale. Jay returns at the end of Episode 10, and stays for the rest of the series before being written out again, this time for good. Amy is also written out at the end of the series and Olive is killed off.
