Hetty axed as BBC unveils new drama
Article Abstract:
BBC is set to release two new dramas, titled Badger and Teachers, in 1998-99 to replace two series that have been dropped. Badger, a wildlife police story of Kieran Prendiville starring Jerome Flynn, will be made by Feelgood Fiction while BBC Production will make the second drama by Lucy Gannon on the life of secondary school teachers. The Broker's Man, a production of Bentley Productions, has posted a 36.6% audience share for its last series while Hetty Wainthropp Investigates, despite taking shares of 46% on its first series, 33% on the second and 32% on its fourth and last, has posed problems on its development beyond the fourth series.
