Channel 4 have axed it to save money. This is far from the only programme they have axed. Three others that spring to mind are Wife Swap, that cleaning show with Kim and Aggie and Star Stories (which due to legal costs, was apparently very expensive to produce).

It's worth noting that Channel 4 do not actually produce their own shows. Every single show is outsourced to production companies.

I know it's sad that I know that, but I have a friend that worked first on the set for Emmerdale, then for the BBC and then for Channel 4. She used to love talking about all the famous people she met while working at Emmerdale and the BBC, but when she worked for Channel 4, she moaned that due to the fact they outsourced all production, it was like working in a normal office. In fact, I got lectured at great length.

Could you ask your friend would she go back to work just for the time bb is on and ask them would they put back on the lve feed for us as its the last show. Tell your friend we wont expect her to stay there after bb is over. We just want our live feed back.
