Afterlife Axed

[Rat]

Supernatural drama Afterlife has been axed by ITV1, scuppering hopes of a third season.

Afterlife had developed a loyal following over its two seasons, but recent programmes such as Britain’s Got Talent have been a far greater draw for viewers. A spokeswoman for ITV paid tribute to the axed show: "Afterlife did a fantastic job for us bringing a very different type of audience to Saturday nights.”

Murray Ferguson of Clerkenwell Films, who made the series, told Broadcast: "The BBC schedule is putting a lot of pressure on ITV to follow suit on Saturday nights and it certainly looks like light entertainment will form a key part of ITV's strategy for that slot."

Ferguson added: "I think the end of the second series was quite a neat ending but it was by no means seen as a conclusion of the series."

Fooking typical!!

I don't watch much TV but I got interested in this and enjoyed it, once again tv providers are scrapping quality (expensive) dramas in favour of cheap reality tv, fooking disgrace.

Agreed !

Unfortunately it says a lot for the intelligence of the average Brit that they can be conned into wathcing this pap and actually thinking its good tv !

Thankyou vm for providing an interesting hobby so that I dont actually have to watch tv !

Hmmm

I totally agree that there is a load pap invading our TV screens on a Saturday evening.This afront to intelligence is forcing us sadly (?) to avoid it by going to the pub/cinema/restaurant . :eater:

I also believe that the majority of the offerings on the TV in general need to be put into a medium size porcelain container and flushed away....

However, the Afterlife series did leave a great deal to be desired of in accuracy.

Why would I say that?.......well, would being a Medium help to explain?
