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?
Brilliant British police/crime drama,great characters,great stories and superb acting from all involved,why cancel such a well loved and very good series,will be sadly missed.
I would have loved to see more about DCI Banks. The last scene with Banks is so pessimistic. “I miss you Annie.”
Still miss D.C.I. Banks…
Still miss D.C.I. Banks….
I was disappointed to find only 5 series of DCI Banks. We only recently became aware of the series and have watched it on Amazon. It was wonderful and very complex, which is what we love about British television. It is unfortunate that ITV does not appreciate what their suppliers have created.
Great series love the actors and story lines binge watched all 5 season on prime very sad to see won’t be able to see more
Watched every program only one book in the series to read WTF d do they take the best series of and put a load of trip on reality shows suck .
I sure wish it would continue for at least a couple of more seasons! Great writing and acting!
Me too!!!!
I agree we really thought this was the best detective show out there.
One of my favorite shows. Very sad it has been cancelled. The high quality shows seem to get cancelled why the average shows get renewed. Dont understand it.
Binge watched DCI Banks and it was one of the best shows out there! Why do the rest shows get canceled and more crap put on TV? BAD DECISION!
I’ve just binged every season of DCI Banks and I loved it. I’m shocked it ended after only 5 seasons. Really disappointed
Same here. I binged the 5 seasons on Prime and loved the show. Not a nice way to end the series with Annie lost. Wanted to see how the team made out after the tragedy. So disappointed.
My wife and I have just been able to view the series via the internet. Over the past couple of weeks we have enjoyed watching every episode. We were sorry to discover the series wasn’t renewed. It had interesting plots, strong characters and intense drama.
I loved DCI banks….Great story lines, great acting and character development…Sad that I won’t be able to bindg watch any longer…….
I really loved that show – excellent acting, great script writing. Of course they had to cancel it.
loves this show. found it on Amazon prime. wish there were more seasons.
