I suspect it also had something to do with modern viewpoints and some woke twat overseeing the script and crossing out swathes of dialogue, leaving next to nothing. I remember the days when a script editor was someone who made cuts due to timing or to trim some of the outside location scenes to keep within budget. I pity the poor writers these days. Last night I noticed LOM series 2 being shown on the That's TV channel. No cuts, but the inevitable trigger warning caption during each ad break. Sad news anyway, whatever the real reason.

Quite so Nighty, especially when people's hopes were up.

Still find it hard this couldn't get the green light. It would have been a ratings winner.

Thanks for that Nightfly, an interesting read, the idea really sounds like it would have been worth watching, such a shame, it would have been fabulous I'm sure

Mind you that sells around the world (almost all of the UK exports you see in US/Aus are period) generally inoffensive (but...) and paints UK in a safe/nice light so can see why the reboot didn't happen - It should have done!
