Sherlock's unexplained death didn't kill Sherlock either. The show stopped because Cumberbatch and Freeman got too famous and could never get their schedules together to make any more. Then after Una Stubbs died, they said it would feel wrong to make any more without her. This list should be called "Things I didn't like that TV shows did".
@@Momofan69 He wasn't that well known. Most people knew him as 'Tim from The Office'. His only major role before Sherlock was as Arthur Dent in The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. He mainly just popped up in small comic roles. Cumberbatch was slightly less well known. Sherlock was what put both these people on the map really.
I still hate Roxanne Pallett for that. Her career needs to be in tatters. She made a mockery of real victims and Ryan broke my heart. That could have destroyed his life.
Roxanne was the worst.I don't get how BB let ryan and everyone in there think he had done wrong for so long.He nearly had a breakdown. BB could have put a stop to that straight away.Also Phillip and holly got away with so much.
Kandyman killed Doctor Who! Come on, you're having a laugh aren't you? The kiss of death was when Michael Grade decided the ratings of Doctor Who, and the stories on screen warranted the axe. He tried to axe it unsuccessfully in 1985, but starting in 1987, his successor Jonathan Powell (who arguably may have hated Doctor Who more than Grade did) scheduled Doctor Who against ITV's ratings juggernaut - Coronation Street. So if anything, it was a combo of Michael Grade, Jonathan Powell and Coronation Street.
I read an article, some years ago, in which Sylvester McCoy said he took the Doctor Who role when the production team started messing around with it, hence the naff storylines during his time on the show
@@stevenoneill7166 Sylvester has only one subpar/poor season (his first one). His final two seasons stand head and shoulders over everything post 4th Doctor, and over some seasons before that as well.
Michael Grade killed Doctor Who. It was noting to do with JNT. Grade hated Doctor Who and when he took over as BBC controller, he put in place numerous strategies (such as moving it from prime-time Saturday night, to a Wednesday slot that competed with ITV's flagship show, Coronation Street) to justify axing it. He axed it in 1989, not 85. The Kandyman had nothing to do with it. He was just a divisive element of one story. The juxtaposition of the saccharine and psychopathic is no new thing in sci-fi and fantasy.
In 1985 Michael Grade took the first swing at the show by putting it on hiatus for 18 months. In 1989 the show was cancelled after Season 26 was aired at the same time as Coronation Street and low ratings was a result. The BBC just had a thing against Science Fiction at the time.
Kind of reminds me of when producer for EastEnders in 1989 Mike Gibbons was axing numerous characters, including Steven Beale, who was a baby at the time. He was planning a colossal storyline that would've seen Albert Square hit with a terrorist attack caused by the IRS, which would've killed off Pete Beale and would've left Simon Wicks (aka Wicksy and Steven's real dad) wheelchair bound. As for baby Steven, he was also going to be killed off after falling seriously ill, and Gibbons pitched the storyline to then scriptwriter David Yallop by morbidly writing the words, "Baby die". He was also planning to kill of Pete's twin Pauline Fowler with a terminal cancer plot, but thankfully, none of these storylines ever went through as people got sick and tired of Gibbons axing half the case that he was replaced by Michael Ferguson.
Roxanne isn't sorry though is she, she knew what she was doing and people like that don't deserve happiness. Had there been no cameras present this could have ruined Ryan's life.
@itbeWOLFLINGS, yes it was his fault because he knew the man suffered from deep depression when he went on the show, Jeremy just bullied and bullied him. He has blood on his hands.
@@itbeWOLFLINGSOH FUCK OFF! He went out of his fucking way to bully and harass the people who he invited onto his show. He never tried to help anyone, and all he ever did was treat them like garbage so he could feel morally superior. The fact is, that fucking dogshit show ruined more lives that it ever helped. So fuck off with your "he didn't kill anyone" bullshit.
Can we stop this weird trend of acting like the McCoy era killed Doctor Who? It had already been cancelled before he was even the Doctor and it was only brought back due to public pressure. The BBC hated the show and wanted it gone.
The big problem with This Morning is not so much that it doesn't have a future, but that it doesn't have a past. 35 years on TV, and now it has to erase some 20 years of Phillip Schofield. They'll never be able to replay 'classic' moments, or look back fondly on this period. And, despite his proven innocence, they can't really celebrate the John Leslie era either, because of the way in which the events played out and lead to his sacking. So that knocks another couple of years off. So its only saleable legacy is Richard and Judy's 13 years. Which are also marred by the presence of Fred Talbot, so they have to airbrush out the iconic weather map feature. When the entire history of a 35 year old show is tainted to that degree, the smart move would be to rebrand it. Something similar, essentially the same, but with a clean sheet to start from.
I don't know why Schofield is in trouble for having consensual sex with an adult. What am I supposed to do? Berate a gay man for not still being married and remaining faithful to his now ex-wife? He shouldn't have said it was immoral, he should have said it's none of anyone's business.
@@Treblaine It's an interesting case. Tricky. I don't really have a steadfast opinion on it all, I can see some elements of the matter from different perspectives. I agree that he shouldn't be treated like a criminal nor feel the need to respond in the manner of one. He has faced no formal accusations or charges of criminality. There has certainly been a kangaroo court aspect to it all, particularly with the BBC interview which came across as some kind of trial. But I can also see why it has ended his career. I do think that there were immoral aspects to his behavior. It was immoral to have an affair whilst living a pretense of having a happy marriage. Nothing to do with his sexuality, but everything to do with breaking his wedding vows. Then there was the immorality of lying about it to friends, family, and effectively his audience. And given that rumors of the relationship had been circulating for several years, I think it is justified for questions to be asked about how much of those rumors were true. He lied about it all. As a proven liar, his word cannot now be taken on what aspects of the matter are true and false. There should be extreme caution to not let questions turn into accusations, but questions are important in this matter. And whilst I believe that there should never be an attitude of "No smoke without fire.", a fire has actually been discovered here. The question which people are effectively asking is, how far did the flames spread?
@@TreblaineNobody cared he was gay, It was the runners age, Being so underage when they first met and getting him the job as a runner, Don't bring sexuality into it as if everyone is bigoted, It's 100% age, Even Ruth complained it was inappropriate.
I haven't seen the last series of Misfits purely because the original cast wasn't there...soooo good for the first couple of series! Ab Fab can do no wrong though. It can come back tomorrow and it'll be just as good. It's fan service. It's niche.
For me Sherlock started to ‘die’ when they introduced Mary and made her this top secret agent/assassin. But Season 4 really killed it with part of the plot being focused around Mary (again), Sherlock being blamed for her death with was her own fault, John being unfaithful and then after all that bringing in the ‘long lost sister’ cliche with Eurus. Who of course was WAY smarter than Sherlock, Mycroft and Moriarty and was able to mastermind a whole scheme in a top security prison simply by manipulating people with her words because she was soooo smart and then murdered people in a SAW like manner just because she decided she didn’t get enough attention as a child. The whole thing felt like a self-insert fanfiction 🙄
_The Final Problem_ was an absolute mess. But I think _The Lying Detective,_ the episode that preceded it, was a contender for the best episode the show has ever produced.
My God, so many things wrong with series 4 of Sherlock, we could go on for ages. Moffat and Gatiss admitted themselves series 4 was an "insane wish fulfilment", which included long scenes that have nothing to do with the plot, characters that were either undeveloped and or had no relevance to the story, and no consequences to the criminal things happening in the episodes. What an absolute travesty.
It seems to me that there are two things that kill off a show....running too long and moving away from the original idea (usually because a show has been running so long it has to reinvent, instead of naturally stopping)
literally greys anatomy. I loved that show up until season 12 but now after season 19 it has become too silly. I only watched it with the hope that i could get closure or with the hopes that it ends soon so it doesnt make me hate it. I love the actors and they do a bloody good job but the show used to be at least a bit about medicine and doctors now its just about having sex and using every episode to spread awareness about common social issues which albeit is a good thing to spread awareness about but everything is too farfetched and nonsensical
@dtulip1 that's a very good point regarding the latter. The 5th series of Quantum Leap had a 2-part season finale as to whether Sam would finally make the leap home. With hindsight that's how it should've ended, but some arsehole at Universal/MCA TV decided otherwise hoping it would go into a 6th season. Lo & behold, the series was cancelled, but what a shitty way to end it ; Sam should've made the leap home, it would've been a fantastic end to an otherwise great TV series
Pallet had apparently done the same sort of thing before with other male actors, she was well known for it. Many refused to work with her. Poisonous little witch
Not just celebrities. Two guys from Thirsk North Yorkshire were under investigation for assaulting her while she was in the big brother house. The charges were dropped as soon as she left the house.
Apparently she accused a crew member of trying to drown her, when looking back at the footage he had just passed her a glass of water. Not my joke but it made me chuckle.
One affair with a younger staff member got the This Morning host fired. Over on this side of the Atlantic, about a dozen such affairs with mostly youngers staffers resulted in no action (except perhaps increased viewership) for Late Show host David Letterman.
@@metropodI still don't get the significance. As long as the other person was of legal age and it was consensual, why exactly was that a cause to cancel him? Nowadays more and more people simply have open / polygamous relationships just to avoid all of this. They worked together, technically the other guy was fucking his boss, so bloody what? Many people form relationships with people they work with.
I stopped watching Misfits after Nathan (Robert Sheehan) left. Watched the first episode of season 3 with Rudy (Joe Gilgun) and binned it off. It just didn't feel the same. I loved Gilgun in This is England but Misfits just didnt work for me.
I agree but casual viewers felt it was the last straw. I know people who never forgot that and see it as a nadir during a wretched (McCoy) era. Things started to look and sound cheaper than ever.
I do wonder, as hilarious and depressing as it could be, whether the second run of spitting image ended because everything got so insane within the political sphere that they couldn’t really add anything to it. I mean, we do seem to live in a time now where articles by the onion, a satire news site, now seem to be the actual news.
That urked me too. Moriarty is a character you build to, not blurt out his name in the first episode. I still enjoyed the first two seasons for what they were, but Seasons 3 and 4 suffered for having killed Moriarty off too early. Season 3 lacked direction, and season 4 was just the hottest of hot garbage. I was watching with disbelief that anyone could write those episodes thinking they would make good TV. And none of the season end cliffhangers were paid off in a remotely satisfying manner.
I know which exact moments that killed British soap operas and they are; 'Nat and Georgia's incest'-Brookside 'Dirty Den's resurrection'-EastEnders 'John Staple: Nice Guy/Serial Killer'-Coronation Street 'The Wrong Archie'-Emmerdale 'Nico Blake the Teenage Serial Killer'-Hollyoaks
all but one of them shows hasnt been killed and are still ongooing. killing a show means its gone completely.... only brookside has ended so cant really say them things killed all the shows really
@@lordchaos52 true. And if I'm honest, I feel Eastenders has been better since last year, since Chris Clenshaw took over. Corrie has been extremely tedious as is Emmerdale, but both could be saved with a change of writers and maybe a new producer. Hollyoaks however is completely over the top! Where on earth would someone get an electrified chess board from, or have the knowledge on how to make one, for example?
What killed *_Absolutely Fabulous_* as the fact that reality never caught up to Pasty and Eddie. The way the third series ended, with Eddie and Patsy forced to "live" in a furniture store was how it really should have ended. Also, *_Spitting Image_* and *_Crossroads_* are endings that should have happened to two shows that happened here. *_SNL_* and *_Dallas_* respectively had things just like that happen.. but they continue/continued on in spite of those events.
Depending on if Russell T Davis can save Doctor Who again, I would argue the Timeless Child arc of Doctor Who was far more harmful to Doctor than the Happiness Patrol
The reason Doctor Who got cancelled was actually due to Warriors of the Deep. It was the main example of the shows decline despite being an episode in 1984 and the show managed to survive another 5 years. Season 22 also is a reason the show got cancelled due to the producers changing the format of the show, the show getting put on hiatus due to the controller of BBC not liking it and using Warriors of the Deep as his example, and then the show being brought back 18 months later with a change back to the original format and significantly less episodes than most series before it. Eventually the show was cancelled in 1989 after Season 26 was put on at the same time as Coronation Street and lost all of its viewers. The BBC heads at the time just wanted to kill the show. All Scifi after a period of time was killed off by the BBC.
In the US, some of us call the episode when a TV show dies the "Jump the Shark" moment. This comes from the show Happy Days. There was a character named Arthur Fonzarelli (the "Fonze") who was a leather-clad tough guy. On that episode, the Fonze rode his motorcycle up a ramp, daredevil style, and jumped it over a shark in a water tank. It was stupid, and most people thought that the quality of the show severely fell off after that. Some of us call it the "Jump the Shark" moment, but not all, because that episode aired in 1977, and a lot of America wasn't even born yet.
I noticed that on Mork & Mindy when Mork had a child called Murph. The show had always been crazy but very funny beforehand. Once this happened, the show started getting too stupid to laugh at. Such a shame considering how brilliant it was in the beginning
For me what killed Sherlock was that I quickly realised for him to look smart, everyone else had to appear very dumb! The thing with the original Sherlock Holmes books was, apart from his powers of deduction and reasoning, he used techniques that, at the time, were not used by the police or pathologists. But with the modern Sherlock you felt they had to make the police, pathologists and, even to an extent, John Watson far less intelligent than they would be. Two examples that hit it home: 1/ The first in A Study in Pink - Sherlock examined the body of a dead woman and checked under the collar of her coat, which was still damp while the rest of it was now dry, suggesting she had been in the rain and had pulled her collar up to protect herself. Would the police or pathologist really not checked that for themselves? 2/ In a later episode a child is kidnapped and the perpetrator left footprints, showing the length of his stride. The pathologist states this tells them "nothing" about who could have done it, with Sherlock replying it tells them the person's height, gait, etc. Again, you're telling me the pathologist wouldn't have known that? And again the techniques that Sherlock uses must surely be basic techniques for the police as well. Don't get me wrong, Benedict and Martin's portrayals were brilliant, I loved them as the characters, but the dumbing down of everyone else just made it too unrealistic.
"For me what killed Sherlock was that I quickly realised for him to look smart, everyone else had to appear very dumb!" That's Doctor Who writing. Modern Doctor Who especially suffers from that.
@@pferreira1983 Ironically i think sherlocks terminal descent came when they started adding new characters that were 'really smart' by making sherlock really dumb to fit them in.
I hope Roxanne's husband & their kids have her permission to look at her, talk to her, be around her & to touch her. As soon as big brother saw the footage, they should have told the housemates, including Roxanne & Ryan to sit down & watch the footage. Then big brother should hve told Ryan he is no longer under any warnings, that they were sorry for not listening to him & helping him, should have told the other housemates who accused him of something he didn't do to apologize to Ryan & kicked Roxanne out after.
Sherlock had a very obvious shelf life. All that 'high-functioning sociopath' bit could only go on for so long before it becomes either annoying, convenient to the plot or both. There was a point where it just felt like everything happened and Sherlock was already there with the solution just because his mind is an unlimited wikipedia. The last season truly showed how weak it became and they'd be wise to just hold on to whatever is left of their show.
Big brother was always going to end after that series & it’s coming back next month, Sherlock ended because both stars are now A listers…who is researching this? Because a quick Google search can tell u this. Your researchers need replacing
I was probably one of the few people who roared with laughter at the fan conspirator versions on that episode of Sherlock and thought the actual explanation was quite feasible, just!
I didnt mind misfits with Nathan gone too much , though he was my fav character. they definitely tried to fill his role with Rudy but I loved that character too so didn't mind XD made me fall in love with Joseph gilgun
I’m sorry but the Happiness Patrol/Candy man episode was brilliant. There was no dip in quality, there was Michael Grade who hated Doctor Who because it didn’t look like Star Wars, despite not giving it the budget to do so. Despite this, you know what? They made QUALITY tv. Colin Baker was hated at the time, and whilst I’ve heard he’s better in audio dramas (haven’t listened to them) he is my least favourite Doctor, from manner, to costume and everything in between he was imo awful, through no fault of his own but the next Doctor, Sylvester McCoy was brilliant, and Ace, she was ACE! Also leave AbFab alone, it’s one of the best comedies, and your description of it is inaccurate. I usually love you guys, but this video… sorry but nah.
Colin Baker was only hated by Michael Grade, not viewers. He had a personal gripe with him and vindictively took his job because of it. Don't know where you're going by pretending Colin was loathed because he wasn't. I'm guessing you wasn't around or watching in 1985 and are regurgitating some anti-Colin bile that some 'fans' have spewed out over the years.
@@rnw2739 He was NOT only hated by Michael Grade, this a is very dishonest portrayal. Colin Baker’s Doctor was simply not popular, or not AS popular as previous incarnations, especially at the beginning. This was due to the stark contrast between his incarnation and Davidson’s (& other previous) incarnation(s). Baker is a brilliant actor and did his best with the material and budget, and yes personal hatred by Grade given to him. However, his garish costume, more sisnister/dark personality and the fact he strangled his companion, an already established character in his first few moments in the role turned audiences against him. With that being said, I know that this was done in purpose and his character was meant to grow and change throughout his tenure, akin to Missy’s transformation from NuWho. He was never given this opportunity though since yes, as you say, Grade hated him. If I remember correctly, he said he would only renew the show if he was replaced. None of this however changes MY personal opinion on him as a Doctor, in MY opinion he was the worst Doctor, but I do understand that this may be because his character didn’t get the originally planned arc. As regards being around in 1985, No I wasn’t, and I wouldn’t be alive even for another 10 years, but you know what this is? Irrelevant. Historians specialising in ancient Egypt were not alive during the time but are still able to make comments and hold opinions on the subject. Also, his first episode was in 1984. As regards your ‘fans’ comment this is ridiculous gatekeeping, “regurgitating anti Colin bile”? No, it’s called having an opinion. You clearly love Baker’s Doctor, and that’s fine. I do not, and that is also fine, but it is disingenuous to paint his tenure as the doctor as you have done so, he was, and still is a lot of fans most hated Doctor. Me saying “he was hated at the time” could be construed as hyperbolic as I realise not everyone hated him for which I apologise, but hyperbole is a common human trait, and should be quite obvious to spot. I am not a Colin Baker hater “spewing ridiculous bile”, I am a dedicated Doctor Who Fan with opinions, as are you, but please don’t gatekeep Doctor Who. I will as a slight penance for my hyperbole & due to your clear love of his incarnation listen to a Colin Baker audio drama when I get the time, and/or go over a few of his classic serials again, but McCoy will likely still be my favourite Doctor from the original, then Hartnell, then Troughton and so on… Also, to reiterate I do believe that Colin Baker was jipped, and done a disservice, and could’ve been great, as he is (as I’ve heard) in Big Finish. His decision not to fil the regeneration scene though was by his own admission “selfish”, I’d tend to agree but when you consider that he’s a normal human who’s just been screwed over, it makes sense why he refused to film this. I’m sorry for the long comment I’m on the spectrum and have ADHD and get carried away sometimes, but if you read it, thank you. Enjoy the rest of your day! 😀
@hunyesmith03 Utter bollocks. I suppose that's why Coiin Baker DVDs and bluray boxsets sell just as well if not more than other Doctors....because he is so detested (!). Michael Grade is the only reason he was dismissed and for you to cite otherwise is extremely disingeneous. Audience figures for Season 23 were much better than Season 24 but continue with your fabricated besmirchment by all means. Good day.
@@rnw2739 Or.. you could read the last part of my comment wherein I stated I would do just that, and give him another chance. I’m not arguing with you anymore, this is just stupid.
Well I disagree about not going out. It still a highly popular show. The tim vine series feel nostalgic for me like lots (despite series one being very weak) but some of the recent series are so cleverly witty. Mac has upped his game.
@@terminatorplayz4614I agree, Chibnall did not have Doctor Who's best interests at heart, Whittaker is a good actress but there's only so much that an actor/actress can do with shoddy writing and directing, it had nothing to do with Whittaker's gender and everything to do with having the wrong person at the helm
Lost interest as soon as you said Tim Vine’s exit killed Not Going Out. It’s still running 9 years later! It’s one of the BBC’s longest running comedies ever. High Dennis, whose character replaced Tim’s, has bern in more episodes than Tim. It’s got a loyal audience. It’s the BBC’s only funny mainstream comedy. Yes, it changed, but it’s just as successful as it ever was, in fact more successful.
Doctor Who was cancelled because Michael Grade absolutely hated Doctor Who and publicly said so, he once remarked “I thought it was horrible, awful. I thought it was so outdated. It was just a little show for a few pointy head Doctor Who fans. It was also very violent and it had lost its magic.”. His successor Jonathan Powell was no fan of the series either, and despised its producer, John Nathan-Turner, who he later said he wanted Nathan-Turner to "fuck off... or die, really". Doctor who was doomed not because of any particular episode, it died because Jonathan Powell as Controller of BBC1 detested John Nathan-Turner, and wanted the series canceled.
I'm personally amazed This Morning is still around after many controversies and scandals esp the Phillip Scofield affair scandal. Its no longer a show that was once as popular, it is old, it is outdated, it does not suit the current modern social climate and needs replacing with a show that meets most people's social perspectives i.e. social media.
Still absolutely convinced Holly Willoughby completely threw Schofield under the bus as it’s unbelievable in my opinion that she knew absolutely nothing. Enablers and groomers are seemingly supported on tv though.
Celebrity Big Brother might be gone, but the general public Big Brother is returning to ITV2 next month. I would hope this bombs in the ratings like it did in its last years and is buried forever, but like a bad smell, this show always finds a way of coming back,
Any form of Big Brother or shows like that should not exist or go and get cancelled, even the likes of Love Island and shows like that tbh, I don't want drama like that, I don't care if your ex came to the beach looking for love, I don't care you are looking for love or whatever tbh, no one cares and I want decent shows tbh, only easily influenced teens and young adults watch them, so yeah
The Kandyman didn't kill off Doctor Who. Michael Grade put the show on hiatus which contributed to the show getting low ratings in the late 80s. Despite the show getting incredibly and increasingly stronger scripts by the end of 1989, the show was seen as a burden to the BBC executives and so they cancelled it. The Kandyman isn't even a part of the reason why the show ended. I would say that the people who researched this should be better at fact checking, but this is Watchmojo so I shouldn't expect anything better than the most filler of "entertainment".
Not shocked that it got cancelled again though - I was looking forward to its return and while the voices and puppets were great, it lacked the bite and satire that it had in the 80's, it wasnt funny (just the odd good line here and there) and it was even quite mean in some sketches, I just thought, "its suposed to be comedy but instead of laughing, I kinda feel like I am being lectured by a bully here" and many sketches went on way, way, way to long, to point where I was like "not only is the horse long dead- but its crumbled in turned into dust"... Shame really because as I said the voices and puppets were brilliant and you can see the work thats clearly went into it on the part of the puppeteers and voice artists but the satire and fun that the original had was just not there in the revival.
Tbh i kinda preferred roady. Nathen was alright but i think roady was a much better character and the hole thing with him having 3 personality’s was soo much more interesting than Nathan’s family issues
Not going out is still as great as ever and i am sorry but id bet lee would bring him back anytime he wants and can slot him straight back in plus ratings aint dropped either!
I don't want Big Brother or any version of it back, hit had its time and were big back then, but looking at them now, you can see a lot of problems with them that I think should not return and be cancelled a long time ago tbh, also the same with Love Island and shows like that tbh, I'm a Celeb should stay tho, its the most decent out of the rest and now drama either
Spitting image also has a musical version in the west end. Don’t know why they are still flogging the idea. Just let it lie in its grave in the cemetery of British TV.
Let's hope that absolutely no one ever thinks that roxanne pallete should be given a second chance in the entertainment industry Also this incident is the reason celebrity big brother should have been continued because they can't fake their personality on there as much
Why can't the UK ever get Big Brother right. Just do it the way the Americans and Canadians are doing it. Its got less violence and drama and a lot more intelligence... occasionally
Well, itv have bought big brother so while the vile Roxanne Pallet was the reason it ended on channel 5. The show will be returned this October 2023 on itv2 Sunday to Friday with a 90 minute launch show. 34 highlight shows and an end show.

He tried to axe it unsuccessfully in 1985, but starting in 1987, his successor Jonathan Powell (who arguably may have hated Doctor Who more than Grade did) scheduled Doctor Who against ITV's ratings juggernaut - Coronation Street. So if anything, it was a combo of Michael Grade, Jonathan Powell and Coronation Street.

Michael Grade killed Doctor Who. It was noting to do with JNT. Grade hated Doctor Who and when he took over as BBC controller, he put in place numerous strategies (such as moving it from prime-time Saturday night, to a Wednesday slot that competed with ITV's flagship show, Coronation Street) to justify axing it. He axed it in 1989, not 85. The Kandyman had nothing to do with it. He was just a divisive element of one story. The juxtaposition of the saccharine and psychopathic is no new thing in sci-fi and fantasy.
In 1985 Michael Grade took the first swing at the show by putting it on hiatus for 18 months.
In 1989 the show was cancelled after Season 26 was aired at the same time as Coronation Street and low ratings was a result. The BBC just had a thing against Science Fiction at the time.
Kind of reminds me of when producer for EastEnders in 1989 Mike Gibbons was axing numerous characters, including Steven Beale, who was a baby at the time. He was planning a colossal storyline that would've seen Albert Square hit with a terrorist attack caused by the IRS, which would've killed off Pete Beale and would've left Simon Wicks (aka Wicksy and Steven's real dad) wheelchair bound. As for baby Steven, he was also going to be killed off after falling seriously ill, and Gibbons pitched the storyline to then scriptwriter David Yallop by morbidly writing the words, "Baby die". He was also planning to kill of Pete's twin Pauline Fowler with a terminal cancer plot, but thankfully, none of these storylines ever went through as people got sick and tired of Gibbons axing half the case that he was replaced by Michael Ferguson.

@@itbeWOLFLINGSOH FUCK OFF! He went out of his fucking way to bully and harass the people who he invited onto his show. He never tried to help anyone, and all he ever did was treat them like garbage so he could feel morally superior.
The fact is, that fucking dogshit show ruined more lives that it ever helped. So fuck off with your "he didn't kill anyone" bullshit.
I still wonder why Roxanne Pallett lied about something so serious. It could not have been just he wanting attention.
Can we stop this weird trend of acting like the McCoy era killed Doctor Who? It had already been cancelled before he was even the Doctor and it was only brought back due to public pressure. The BBC hated the show and wanted it gone.
The big problem with This Morning is not so much that it doesn't have a future, but that it doesn't have a past. 35 years on TV, and now it has to erase some 20 years of Phillip Schofield. They'll never be able to replay 'classic' moments, or look back fondly on this period. And, despite his proven innocence, they can't really celebrate the John Leslie era either, because of the way in which the events played out and lead to his sacking. So that knocks another couple of years off. So its only saleable legacy is Richard and Judy's 13 years. Which are also marred by the presence of Fred Talbot, so they have to airbrush out the iconic weather map feature. When the entire history of a 35 year old show is tainted to that degree, the smart move would be to rebrand it. Something similar, essentially the same, but with a clean sheet to start from.
I don't know why Schofield is in trouble for having consensual sex with an adult. What am I supposed to do? Berate a gay man for not still being married and remaining faithful to his now ex-wife? He shouldn't have said it was immoral, he should have said it's none of anyone's business.
@@Treblaine It's an interesting case. Tricky. I don't really have a steadfast opinion on it all, I can see some elements of the matter from different perspectives. I agree that he shouldn't be treated like a criminal nor feel the need to respond in the manner of one. He has faced no formal accusations or charges of criminality. There has certainly been a kangaroo court aspect to it all, particularly with the BBC interview which came across as some kind of trial. But I can also see why it has ended his career. I do think that there were immoral aspects to his behavior. It was immoral to have an affair whilst living a pretense of having a happy marriage. Nothing to do with his sexuality, but everything to do with breaking his wedding vows. Then there was the immorality of lying about it to friends, family, and effectively his audience. And given that rumors of the relationship had been circulating for several years, I think it is justified for questions to be asked about how much of those rumors were true. He lied about it all. As a proven liar, his word cannot now be taken on what aspects of the matter are true and false. There should be extreme caution to not let questions turn into accusations, but questions are important in this matter. And whilst I believe that there should never be an attitude of "No smoke without fire.", a fire has actually been discovered here. The question which people are effectively asking is, how far did the flames spread?
I forgot about John Leslie and Fred the weatherman, The whole history of the show is now tainted 😂😂😂
@@TreblaineNobody cared he was gay, It was the runners age, Being so underage when they first met and getting him the job as a runner, Don't bring sexuality into it as if everyone is bigoted, It's 100% age, Even Ruth complained it was inappropriate.

Only Fools and Horses Died When Rodney and Del became millionaires

Ab Fab can do no wrong though. It can come back tomorrow and it'll be just as good. It's fan service. It's niche.
Trying to please everyone except the core audience is the kiss of death to any show.
For me Sherlock started to ‘die’ when they introduced Mary and made her this top secret agent/assassin. But Season 4 really killed it with part of the plot being focused around Mary (again), Sherlock being blamed for her death with was her own fault, John being unfaithful and then after all that bringing in the ‘long lost sister’ cliche with Eurus. Who of course was WAY smarter than Sherlock, Mycroft and Moriarty and was able to mastermind a whole scheme in a top security prison simply by manipulating people with her words because she was soooo smart and then murdered people in a SAW like manner just because she decided she didn’t get enough attention as a child.
The whole thing felt like a self-insert fanfiction 🙄
_The Final Problem_ was an absolute mess. But I think _The Lying Detective,_ the episode that preceded it, was a contender for the best episode the show has ever produced.
I dont think you've ever seen Saw
sherlock was shit from the start lmao
My God, so many things wrong with series 4 of Sherlock, we could go on for ages. Moffat and Gatiss admitted themselves series 4 was an "insane wish fulfilment", which included long scenes that have nothing to do with the plot, characters that were either undeveloped and or had no relevance to the story, and no consequences to the criminal things happening in the episodes. What an absolute travesty.
@@ihateunicorns867 weirdo
It seems to me that there are two things that kill off a show....running too long and moving away from the original idea (usually because a show has been running so long it has to reinvent, instead of naturally stopping)
literally greys anatomy. I loved that show up until season 12 but now after season 19 it has become too silly. I only watched it with the hope that i could get closure or with the hopes that it ends soon so it doesnt make me hate it. I love the actors and they do a bloody good job but the show used to be at least a bit about medicine and doctors now its just about having sex and using every episode to spread awareness about common social issues which albeit is a good thing to spread awareness about but everything is too farfetched and nonsensical
@dtulip1 that's a very good point regarding the latter. The 5th series of Quantum Leap had a 2-part season finale as to whether Sam would finally make the leap home. With hindsight that's how it should've ended, but some arsehole at Universal/MCA TV decided otherwise hoping it would go into a 6th season. Lo & behold, the series was cancelled, but what a shitty way to end it ; Sam should've made the leap home, it would've been a fantastic end to an otherwise great TV series

Apparently she accused a crew member of trying to drown her, when looking back at the footage he had just passed her a glass of water. Not my joke but it made me chuckle.
Classic doctor who ended in 1989 not 1985.
One affair with a younger staff member got the This Morning host fired. Over on this side of the Atlantic, about a dozen such affairs with mostly youngers staffers resulted in no action (except perhaps increased viewership) for Late Show host David Letterman.
The difference is Dave owned the show.
@@metropodI still don't get the significance. As long as the other person was of legal age and it was consensual, why exactly was that a cause to cancel him? Nowadays more and more people simply have open / polygamous relationships just to avoid all of this. They worked together, technically the other guy was fucking his boss, so bloody what? Many people form relationships with people they work with.
I stopped watching Misfits after Nathan (Robert Sheehan) left. Watched the first episode of season 3 with Rudy (Joe Gilgun) and binned it off. It just didn't feel the same. I loved Gilgun in This is England but Misfits just didnt work for me.
Gilgun is brilliant in America's "Preacher" series.
Brassic is a great watch..
The Kandyman was great. One of the scariest Dr Who monsters ever. No one blames Kandyman for the Dr Who cancellation.
I agree but casual viewers felt it was the last straw. I know people who never forgot that and see it as a nadir during a wretched (McCoy) era. Things started to look and sound cheaper than ever.
When Stephen Fry left QI. Never felt the same after he went.
Sandi was a great replacement
London's Burning, when Bayleaf left, Hallem dies or Nick's death? Show became a soap opera after that with dull wooden characters
I do wonder, as hilarious and depressing as it could be, whether the second run of spitting image ended because everything got so insane within the political sphere that they couldn’t really add anything to it. I mean, we do seem to live in a time now where articles by the onion, a satire news site, now seem to be the actual news.
I swear Sherlock did explain the jump.
It did. It wasn't a very good explanation, which is why I stopped watching. But it did.
There were several explanations given, none of which really worked. The truth is (IMO) that the writers couldn’t figure out a clever explanation.
Roxanne Pallett gaslighter
For me, Sherlock ended when the taxi driver said Moriarty hired him in Study in Pink.
That urked me too. Moriarty is a character you build to, not blurt out his name in the first episode. I still enjoyed the first two seasons for what they were, but Seasons 3 and 4 suffered for having killed Moriarty off too early. Season 3 lacked direction, and season 4 was just the hottest of hot garbage. I was watching with disbelief that anyone could write those episodes thinking they would make good TV. And none of the season end cliffhangers were paid off in a remotely satisfying manner.
I forgot about misfits!!! The first 2 seasons were excellent!!!
Ab Fab was always brilliant!!!!
I know which exact moments that killed British soap operas and they are;
'Nat and Georgia's incest'-Brookside
'Dirty Den's resurrection'-EastEnders
'John Staple: Nice Guy/Serial Killer'-Coronation Street
'The Wrong Archie'-Emmerdale
'Nico Blake the Teenage Serial Killer'-Hollyoaks
Exact none of these examples killed the soap operas you speak of. This is a list of storyline you don't like or find ridiculous
The Nico Blake storyline was horrific from beginning to end
List is 100% accurate
all but one of them shows hasnt been killed and are still ongooing. killing a show means its gone completely.... only brookside has ended so cant really say them things killed all the shows really
@@lordchaos52 true. And if I'm honest, I feel Eastenders has been better since last year, since Chris Clenshaw took over. Corrie has been extremely tedious as is Emmerdale, but both could be saved with a change of writers and maybe a new producer. Hollyoaks however is completely over the top! Where on earth would someone get an electrified chess board from, or have the knowledge on how to make one, for example?
What killed *_Absolutely Fabulous_* as the fact that reality never caught up to Pasty and Eddie. The way the third series ended, with Eddie and Patsy forced to "live" in a furniture store was how it really should have ended.
Also, *_Spitting Image_* and *_Crossroads_* are endings that should have happened to two shows that happened here. *_SNL_* and *_Dallas_* respectively had things just like that happen.. but they continue/continued on in spite of those events.
By WatchMojo logic, Sherlock was killed in 1893/1903, when Arthur Conan Doyle wrote The Final Problem/The Adventure of the Empty House
'10 exact moments that killed TV shows.'
Almost immediately lists a show that is still ongoing.
Lol. Never change watchmojo.
Depending on if Russell T Davis can save Doctor Who again, I would argue the Timeless Child arc of Doctor Who was far more harmful to Doctor than the Happiness Patrol
Yep, I have great faith in Russell T Davies but he has a hell of a lot of work to do to pull Doctor Who out of the toilet that Chibnall put it in
The reason Doctor Who got cancelled was actually due to Warriors of the Deep. It was the main example of the shows decline despite being an episode in 1984 and the show managed to survive another 5 years.
Season 22 also is a reason the show got cancelled due to the producers changing the format of the show, the show getting put on hiatus due to the controller of BBC not liking it and using Warriors of the Deep as his example, and then the show being brought back 18 months later with a change back to the original format and significantly less episodes than most series before it.
Eventually the show was cancelled in 1989 after Season 26 was put on at the same time as Coronation Street and lost all of its viewers.
The BBC heads at the time just wanted to kill the show. All Scifi after a period of time was killed off by the BBC.
In the US, some of us call the episode when a TV show dies the "Jump the Shark" moment. This comes from the show Happy Days. There was a character named Arthur Fonzarelli (the "Fonze") who was a leather-clad tough guy. On that episode, the Fonze rode his motorcycle up a ramp, daredevil style, and jumped it over a shark in a water tank. It was stupid, and most people thought that the quality of the show severely fell off after that. Some of us call it the "Jump the Shark" moment, but not all, because that episode aired in 1977, and a lot of America wasn't even born yet.
I noticed that on Mork & Mindy when Mork had a child called Murph. The show had always been crazy but very funny beforehand. Once this happened, the show started getting too stupid to laugh at. Such a shame considering how brilliant it was in the beginning
@@stevenoneill7166Good example! At that moment, Mork and Mindy "Jumped the Shark."
He was on water skis not a motorbike.
@@jeremypnetBy golly, you're right. I checked, and it appears that I remembered it wrong. Thanks for correcting me!
This cack ought to be the episode that kills WatchMojo.
For me what killed Sherlock was that I quickly realised for him to look smart, everyone else had to appear very dumb!
The thing with the original Sherlock Holmes books was, apart from his powers of deduction and reasoning, he used techniques that, at the time, were not used by the police or pathologists. But with the modern Sherlock you felt they had to make the police, pathologists and, even to an extent, John Watson far less intelligent than they would be.
Two examples that hit it home:
1/ The first in A Study in Pink - Sherlock examined the body of a dead woman and checked under the collar of her coat, which was still damp while the rest of it was now dry, suggesting she had been in the rain and had pulled her collar up to protect herself. Would the police or pathologist really not checked that for themselves?
2/ In a later episode a child is kidnapped and the perpetrator left footprints, showing the length of his stride. The pathologist states this tells them "nothing" about who could have done it, with Sherlock replying it tells them the person's height, gait, etc. Again, you're telling me the pathologist wouldn't have known that?
And again the techniques that Sherlock uses must surely be basic techniques for the police as well.
Don't get me wrong, Benedict and Martin's portrayals were brilliant, I loved them as the characters, but the dumbing down of everyone else just made it too unrealistic.
"For me what killed Sherlock was that I quickly realised for him to look smart, everyone else had to appear very dumb!"
That's Doctor Who writing. Modern Doctor Who especially suffers from that.
@@pferreira1983 Ironically i think sherlocks terminal descent came when they started adding new characters that were 'really smart' by making sherlock really dumb to fit them in.
@@andrewshaw1571 As I said, modern Doctor Who really suffers from that.
I hope Roxanne's husband & their kids have her permission to look at her, talk to her, be around her & to touch her. As soon as big brother saw the footage, they should have told the housemates, including Roxanne & Ryan to sit down & watch the footage. Then big brother should hve told Ryan he is no longer under any warnings, that they were sorry for not listening to him & helping him, should have told the other housemates who accused him of something he didn't do to apologize to Ryan & kicked Roxanne out after.
So the original Spitting Image ended because of writers and impressionists leaving over the years after Thatcher got kicked out?
Kandyman didn't kill Who at all, and I think he was a great villain.
Nope. Big brother is back on itv2 this autumn.. In few wks 2023 😂😅
I never classed the opener to series 3 of Sherlock as the jump the shark moment: The Christmas special did that.
Sherlock had a very obvious shelf life. All that 'high-functioning sociopath' bit could only go on for so long before it becomes either annoying, convenient to the plot or both. There was a point where it just felt like everything happened and Sherlock was already there with the solution just because his mind is an unlimited wikipedia. The last season truly showed how weak it became and they'd be wise to just hold on to whatever is left of their show.
Big brother was always going to end after that series & it’s coming back next month, Sherlock ended because both stars are now A listers…who is researching this? Because a quick Google search can tell u this. Your researchers need replacing
I hadn’t heard about CBB “Punchgate” until this video and now I am sad and angry. I hate things like this.
I was probably one of the few people who roared with laughter at the fan conspirator versions on that episode of Sherlock and thought the actual explanation was quite feasible, just!
The kandyman was a bloody great villain. Far from what killed Doctor who
I love Sherlock, bloody fantastic

I didnt mind misfits with Nathan gone too much , though he was my fav character. they definitely tried to fill his role with Rudy but I loved that character too so didn't mind XD made me fall in love with Joseph gilgun
I’m sorry but the Happiness Patrol/Candy man episode was brilliant. There was no dip in quality, there was Michael Grade who hated Doctor Who because it didn’t look like Star Wars, despite not giving it the budget to do so. Despite this, you know what? They made QUALITY tv. Colin Baker was hated at the time, and whilst I’ve heard he’s better in audio dramas (haven’t listened to them) he is my least favourite Doctor, from manner, to costume and everything in between he was imo awful, through no fault of his own but the next Doctor, Sylvester McCoy was brilliant, and Ace, she was ACE! Also leave AbFab alone, it’s one of the best comedies, and your description of it is inaccurate. I usually love you guys, but this video… sorry but nah.
Also, full of mistakes
Colin Baker was only hated by Michael Grade, not viewers. He had a personal gripe with him and vindictively took his job because of it.
Don't know where you're going by pretending Colin was loathed because he wasn't. I'm guessing you wasn't around or watching in 1985 and are regurgitating some anti-Colin bile that some 'fans' have spewed out over the years.
@@rnw2739 He was NOT only hated by Michael Grade, this a is very dishonest portrayal. Colin Baker’s Doctor was simply not popular, or not AS popular as previous incarnations, especially at the beginning. This was due to the stark contrast between his incarnation and Davidson’s (& other previous) incarnation(s). Baker is a brilliant actor and did his best with the material and budget, and yes personal hatred by Grade given to him. However, his garish costume, more sisnister/dark personality and the fact he strangled his companion, an already established character in his first few moments in the role turned audiences against him. With that being said, I know that this was done in purpose and his character was meant to grow and change throughout his tenure, akin to Missy’s transformation from NuWho. He was never given this opportunity though since yes, as you say, Grade hated him. If I remember correctly, he said he would only renew the show if he was replaced.
None of this however changes MY personal opinion on him as a Doctor, in MY opinion he was the worst Doctor, but I do understand that this may be because his character didn’t get the originally planned arc.
As regards being around in 1985, No I wasn’t, and I wouldn’t be alive even for another 10 years, but you know what this is? Irrelevant. Historians specialising in ancient Egypt were not alive during the time but are still able to make comments and hold opinions on the subject. Also, his first episode was in 1984.
As regards your ‘fans’ comment this is ridiculous gatekeeping, “regurgitating anti Colin bile”? No, it’s called having an opinion. You clearly love Baker’s Doctor, and that’s fine. I do not, and that is also fine, but it is disingenuous to paint his tenure as the doctor as you have done so, he was, and still is a lot of fans most hated Doctor. Me saying “he was hated at the time” could be construed as hyperbolic as I realise not everyone hated him for which I apologise, but hyperbole is a common human trait, and should be quite obvious to spot.
I am not a Colin Baker hater “spewing ridiculous bile”, I am a dedicated Doctor Who Fan with opinions, as are you, but please don’t gatekeep Doctor Who.
I will as a slight penance for my hyperbole & due to your clear love of his incarnation listen to a Colin Baker audio drama when I get the time, and/or go over a few of his classic serials again, but McCoy will likely still be my favourite Doctor from the original, then Hartnell, then Troughton and so on…
Also, to reiterate I do believe that Colin Baker was jipped, and done a disservice, and could’ve been great, as he is (as I’ve heard) in Big Finish. His decision not to fil the regeneration scene though was by his own admission “selfish”, I’d tend to agree but when you consider that he’s a normal human who’s just been screwed over, it makes sense why he refused to film this.
I’m sorry for the long comment I’m on the spectrum and have ADHD and get carried away sometimes, but if you read it, thank you. Enjoy the rest of your day! 😀
@hunyesmith03 Utter bollocks. I suppose that's why Coiin Baker DVDs and bluray boxsets sell just as well if not more than other Doctors....because he is so detested (!).
Michael Grade is the only reason he was dismissed and for you to cite otherwise is extremely disingeneous. Audience figures for Season 23 were much better than Season 24 but continue with your fabricated besmirchment by all means. Good day.
@@rnw2739 Or.. you could read the last part of my comment wherein I stated I would do just that, and give him another chance. I’m not arguing with you anymore, this is just stupid.
What a lot of nonsense with Sherlock at number 1. The show got even more popular after that finale.
I am amazed I have never heard of Not Going Out. Not going to watch it either
Misfits is still my favourite show of all time and I loved all of it
Well I disagree about not going out. It still a highly popular show. The tim vine series feel nostalgic for me like lots (despite series one being very weak) but some of the recent series are so cleverly witty. Mac has upped his game.

How about Jody Whitaker’s casting as Doctor Who
Chris Chibnalls directing you mean? She did everything she could, but was given awful scripts
@@terminatorplayz4614I agree, Chibnall did not have Doctor Who's best interests at heart, Whittaker is a good actress but there's only so much that an actor/actress can do with shoddy writing and directing, it had nothing to do with Whittaker's gender and everything to do with having the wrong person at the helm
@@azarothshadowsoul could not agree more!
It did not help the Crossroads revival that it was on weekdays 5.30pm. It was a killer time slot, just remember night and day.
Lost interest as soon as you said Tim Vine’s exit killed Not Going Out. It’s still running 9 years later! It’s one of the BBC’s longest running comedies ever. High Dennis, whose character replaced Tim’s, has bern in more episodes than Tim. It’s got a loyal audience. It’s the BBC’s only funny mainstream comedy. Yes, it changed, but it’s just as successful as it ever was, in fact more successful.
Sherlock Holmes' survival was never explained in the original stories either.

Doctor Who was cancelled because Michael Grade absolutely hated Doctor Who and publicly said so, he once remarked “I thought it was horrible, awful. I thought it was so outdated. It was just a little show for a few pointy head Doctor Who fans. It was also very violent and it had lost its magic.”. His successor Jonathan Powell was no fan of the series either, and despised its producer, John Nathan-Turner, who he later said he wanted Nathan-Turner to "fuck off... or die, really". Doctor who was doomed not because of any particular episode, it died because Jonathan Powell as Controller of BBC1 detested John Nathan-Turner, and wanted the series canceled.
Wow. I thought Doctor Who was shit my entire life (apart from Darleks Invasion Earth) and that Kandyman clip made me want to see it. Looks awesome!
I'm personally amazed This Morning is still around after many controversies and scandals esp the Phillip Scofield affair scandal. Its no longer a show that was once as popular, it is old, it is outdated, it does not suit the current modern social climate and needs replacing with a show that meets most people's social perspectives i.e. social media.
Spitting image would have had a field day with Schofield...
.......shame....
I miss Celeb Big Brother, it was always chaos!
Misfits was really really good. Rudy wasn't a bad replacement but the 5th series was awful
Still absolutely convinced Holly Willoughby completely threw Schofield under the bus as it’s unbelievable in my opinion that she knew absolutely nothing. Enablers and groomers are seemingly supported on tv though.
Being Human [UK] turned utter shit when Aiden Turner's character was killed off.
The notion that whether or not something is popular determines if it’s good or not is one I’ve never subscribed to… all to my own benefit.
The Kandyman was stupidly awesome. lmao
Celebrity Big Brother might be gone, but the general public Big Brother is returning to ITV2 next month. I would hope this bombs in the ratings like it did in its last years and is buried forever, but like a bad smell, this show always finds a way of coming back,
Any form of Big Brother or shows like that should not exist or go and get cancelled, even the likes of Love Island and shows like that tbh, I don't want drama like that, I don't care if your ex came to the beach looking for love, I don't care you are looking for love or whatever tbh, no one cares and I want decent shows tbh, only easily influenced teens and young adults watch them, so yeah
The Kandyman didn't kill off Doctor Who. Michael Grade put the show on hiatus which contributed to the show getting low ratings in the late 80s. Despite the show getting incredibly and increasingly stronger scripts by the end of 1989, the show was seen as a burden to the BBC executives and so they cancelled it. The Kandyman isn't even a part of the reason why the show ended.
I would say that the people who researched this should be better at fact checking, but this is Watchmojo so I shouldn't expect anything better than the most filler of "entertainment".
St. Elsewhere having dream ending too lol
Spitting Image could come back. The UK Government today is the biggest joke in the country
Not shocked that it got cancelled again though - I was looking forward to its return and while the voices and puppets were great, it lacked the bite and satire that it had in the 80's, it wasnt funny (just the odd good line here and there) and it was even quite mean in some sketches, I just thought, "its suposed to be comedy but instead of laughing, I kinda feel like I am being lectured by a bully here" and many sketches went on way, way, way to long, to point where I was like "not only is the horse long dead- but its crumbled in turned into dust"...
Shame really because as I said the voices and puppets were brilliant and you can see the work thats clearly went into it on the part of the puppeteers and voice artists but the satire and fun that the original had was just not there in the revival.
Kind of the way often, the remakes usually never as good as the originals @@ProwlingTiger1

Misfits went down hill after simon left not nathan

And bbc sherlock their was an episode were Sherlock explain how he survived his fall.
Agree with mifits..
good news guys big brothers being revived 🤣
Tbh i kinda preferred roady. Nathen was alright but i think roady was a much better character and the hole thing with him having 3 personality’s was soo much more interesting than Nathan’s family issues

I don't want Big Brother or any version of it back, hit had its time and were big back then, but looking at them now, you can see a lot of problems with them that I think should not return and be cancelled a long time ago tbh, also the same with Love Island and shows like that tbh, I'm a Celeb should stay tho, its the most decent out of the rest and now drama either
I think it moved channels after the original controversy
Spitting image also has a musical version in the west end. Don’t know why they are still flogging the idea. Just let it lie in its grave in the cemetery of British TV.
Doctor Who was 1963-1989. DO YOUR RESEARCH WATCHMOJO.
Let's hope that absolutely no one ever thinks that roxanne pallete should be given a second chance in the entertainment industry
Also this incident is the reason celebrity big brother should have been continued because they can't fake their personality on there as much
I liked celebrity big brother minus her lying
Why can't the UK ever get Big Brother right. Just do it the way the Americans and Canadians are doing it. Its got less violence and drama and a lot more intelligence... occasionally
It was tried once. From what I can remember UK audiences didn't like it. It's kind of like how Celebrity Big Brother doesn't work in the US.
@@jwb52z9 Celebrity Big Brother worked decently in America though
They should do it where at least one of the guests is a serial killer. Or the house is next to an active volcano.
