McDonald & Dodds, arguably ITV's most entertaining crime drama of recent times, has been surprisingly axed by the broadcaster.
ITV has decided to end the show, which starred Jason Watkins and Tala Gouveia as Bath detectives, due to the ratings not being high enough for further series. The news ironically comes the day after it was revealed Tala will be guest-starring in the new series of Death in Paradise. An ITV spokesperson confirmed the news to Radio Time, saying the latest series didn't meet the threshold for a recommission. Fans will be hoping that another broadcaster will step in to save the show, although that seems unlikely at this stage.
