Stuart2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Report Posted October 27, 2006 To All Fans....... Sadly Bad Girls Has Been Axed Popular prison drama Bad Girls has been axed after eight series. The long-anticipated decision not to recomission the programme finally came today and resulted in a 13% drop in the shares of programme makers, Shed Productions. Shed chief executive Eileen Gallagher said: "Naturally we're disappointed that Bad Girls has not been recommissioned, especially as the last series performed well during a tough summer for ITV." This is the second blow ITV have dealt Shed, having axed Footballers' Wives in May after only five series. An ITV spokeswoman told DS: "Bad Girls has been a terrific show for us over the years performing consistently in the peak time schedule, but we need to make way for new series ideas in order to keep ITV1 refreshed and relevant for the modern audience." Bad Girls first broadcast in 1999 and ran for 111 episodes. A Christmas special filmed earlier this year will still be shown in December. I'm so sad Source:Digital Spy
Sarah_Lewis Posted November 26, 2006 Report Posted November 26, 2006 OMFG !!! why has it been axed? =o(
xGlowingAngelx Posted December 19, 2006 Report Posted December 19, 2006 For those interested, the last episode of Bad Girls airs tomorrow night 9pm, ITV1. After 7 years, with just one episode left to tie everything together, it better be worth it!
-Andrew- Posted December 20, 2006 Report Posted December 20, 2006 I cannot beleive it is only one hour long, how can they wrap up a show like Bad girls in that in that time! In series seven the average episode was 1hr 30 mins!
Oxidizer Posted December 20, 2006 Report Posted December 20, 2006 Sucks, huh? I think if they know it wasn't being recomissioned they'd probably would have filmed an extra special episode to tie up all the loose ends but aren't the Xmas ones usually filmed in the Summer? Months before anyone even knew it was being axed.

In series seven the average episode was 1hr 30 mins! lol, I said that eact same thing to my mum this morning. That's why I'm so eager to watch it, I'm looking foward to seeing how they wrap it up, although I hope they don't focus the entire episode on Natalie's ghost! there are other characters in the show, like the two julies, who have been there since the beginning and deserve to go out with a decent storyline.
claire_louise Posted December 20, 2006 Report Posted December 20, 2006 The problem is they didn't know it was going to be the last ep, so most likely it will be just like any other Christmas special, without a proper ending.

Exactly, which means it's going to be a let down. It seems like any other episode so far.... EDIT: Break time: LMAO, I love BodyBag!
