DCI Banks TV Series Cancelled After Five Seasons on ITV
Here is more, from Radio Times:
The broadcaster said that the fifth series, which aired earlier this year, will be its last.
“After five series, ITV has taken the decision not to recommission DCI Banks. We’re grateful to the production team at Left Bank Pictures for creating the world of DCI Banks and the actors Stephen Tompkinson, Andrea Lowe and Caroline Catz for the commitment and dedication they’ve shown to their roles.”
What do you think? Are you DCI Banks fan? Should ITV have cancelled or renewed it for a sixth season?
That’s really a shame. I loved the series and it could have gone on for a few more seasons at least. Great cast, great acting and story lines. Shame shame shame.
This was an amazing series. I can’t understand why it was cancelled!
Enjoyed this show very much. Disappointed to find out it’s cancelled.
DCI BANKS IS GREAT SHOW AND I WILL MISS IT VERY MUCH.
Very disappointing. Banks was a great suspense drama. Sad about Annie. But Banks was a great copper.
I would like to see a new series or a movie. This was a really great show and continued to get better each season. It was not getting stale at all.
There´s a thing I can´t understand: I just finished watching episode 6 of season 6th. Maybe they decided to go ahead one more season?
I have to agree w/ fellow posters that we’re upset that this great show is cancelled. Most of our fave shows shown on PBS here in the states seem to be ending.
ITV can’t do that. Can’t Netflix or Amazon Prime pick DCI Banks up for a sixth season? Maybe, ITV should do a one-off special.
Why are all our favourite programmes cancelled? They cant always blame poor viewings. We loved Wild at Heart but it was cancelled after 7 series. Would love to see that back too.
I live in the U.S. and love the British shows. DCI Banks was great. We were just starting to see DI Morton blossom . Bring it back
Please renew the series. Good shows are hard to find. Maybe it can be picked up by another company. So very disappointed. BRING THE SHOW BACK.
Iam so tired of the good shows not being kept on tv. British Crime Dramas are the best in the world. If this is truly a cancelled show then shame on ITV maybe hulu or netflix should pick it up its a great show. I think its time to put boycott itv on my facebook page. wonder how long it will take to circle the globe.
Seems like yet again, anyone not actually living and watching *a show* in the United Kingdom doesn’t actually count as part of the viewing public, not to mention the world wide sales of *said* dvd. This series could’ve run for many more years……sadly the short sightedness of the powers that be have let the worldwide fan base sadly down! Shame on you ITV for such short sightedness you badly need GLASSES!
Wish they had continued with this series also not happy with the conclusion but I thoroughly enjoyed the production
