Just as well I have my Roku, so I won't miss out, but this will be a frustrating time for those with VM only who have followed series one and two on ITV1.
I could never understood why ITV bought it for ITV1; completely the wrong fit, so not surprising that viewing figures were low. ITV Encore is a better fit, and being a pay TV channel, they don't need as big an audience. I still think it would have been a good fit for BBC2, then everyone could continue to see it.
