Just read that BBC are axing Ripper Street after this series as viewing figures aren't high enough. Not surprised when there's stupid celebrities in the jungle on the other side. This is disgraceful as it is the best drama on BBC right now. I expect they will dumb down with another food programme. Why don't we have a say - we, the license payers. Gutted - especially as I can't get over how great Jerome Flynn's face is in this.
Anyway, c'mon the Gooners tonight. Hope Hull are still tired from the weekend.

Oh yes, Zen was great too. What the eff happened to that? Mark my words, this will be replaced with more cooking/quizzes/houses under hammers.

Sherlock is brilliant but inevitably difficult to put together on a regular basis. They have commissioned a fourth series, though, which is good.
I must confess that I've struggled to get into Ripper as much as Sherlock, but it's much better than most Dramas on TV - I watch very little TV these days other than some comedy stuff but found the time to follow it for its first series and I'm going through the recordings of this series. One thing I do think is that it wasn't really suited to a second series and seemed very much a one-series kind of show.

If you like Sherlock and Ripper you should check out Luther. It's very good
