Ripper Street Series 2

Complaint made with a link to this thread ...

Ironically, when I Googled 'Ripper Street cancelled' it took me to an American site where BBC America customers were ranting and up in arms about the same thing. They were all talking about cancelling their subscriptions.

I have seen people say these kind of things before (everything from unhappy people in bad work situations to members suffering under a Church leader abusing his position in an egregious manner of micro-managing and controlling members of a session and even a Presbytery that led to a large percentage of those who made those kind of statements actually going to other churches.)  Unfortunately it often only stops at verbal expressions of anger and frustration.  The fact that the petition is gaining signatures is a good sign but remember that if there are insufficient numbers or the signatures are slow to accumulate the impact is less.  TV management types are not concerned about "snowballs" of protest/dismay but if it looks like that "snowball" is turning into an "avalanche" they are more more prone to adjust their stupidity.  

Also the longer it takes to stop a change the more likely writers and actors will have taken on other commitments.  To use a military metaphor, you must strike fast, you must strike hard, and you must strike repeatedly until your foe acquiesces to your demands.  Numbers count!  pun intended...  

It can be done but delay and lack of passion/commitment can undo your efforts.

Good Luck!

Gracias,

Who doesn't watch TV because most TV seems to degrade culture (Trash-vision) but is sad to see what many feel is a superior dramatic entertainment product foolishly overthrown for dreck

I despair. Seems like I'm paying a £145 a year to a bunch of lobotomised twats.

When CBS cancelled "Jericho", a huge fan base sent cans of nuts to the executives, in excess of 18,000 lbs, and in the end at least gave the series "proper" closure. 


Just saying, be a shame if three tons of old medal were to end up on Tony Hall's desk. Not that I would suggest sending old military medals in reference to Col. Faulkner or anything.

I associate myself with this post.
Petition signed

Me to. I am not sure a mad foreign signature has any impact. However, British TV drama rates very highly in Sweden. There is a surplus of pottering murder stories like Murders in Midsommer, to be sure, but Whitechapple, Sherlock, Ripper Street etc are all the shit. In fact, HBO and BBC are the most reliable providers of quality drama in the world, companies which other just occasionally manage to copy.

I effectively screen the 11th plagues of Egypt like Top Gear, Come dine with me

EDIT: "11th plagues of Egypt", there might be a show in that title I should start writing...

Sadly sacking the moron responsible for this decision won't work either, because they'll need a few million to slip into his severance package.

[Mr. Peabody]

As of a few minutes ago just over 5,000 have signed the petition.

Signed, not that I expect my vote to count.

At least it shows your anger at the loss of a quality show.
