It was until they changed the format and put it on after the watershed. It spoilt it then.

They are axing it because of a drop in viewing figures....and they are wondering why?

We have years to go until we get up with the times over here anyhow......didn't know that they were even considering cutting it - I thought it was ingrained into the culture like coro and eastenders now.

I'm not surprised it's being axed now, it just doesn't work in this new format. It was good for years because of the old format.

It's a shame, but it's probably cost ITV more to 'cut costs' than it would to have left it well alone.

We have watched it from the start and consider it not as good since the time was altered to after the watershed hour. Still do not believe it will be replaced by anything that will hold its audience for as many years. No other police series has lasted or beaten it. What do you think? I think it is all the fault of new brooms trying to make their mark.
