Yes. The viewing figures were never that good, despite the (relatively) huge budget. The BBC canned it after 2 series, and completely changed the ending to absolve themselves of having to make the third. Morons. This meant, of course, that anyone wanting to find out how it all ended by picking up a copy of 'The Pool of Fire' had to tune in to quite a radically different story, as it wasn't just the ending they changed. Actually, large parts of the second series are completely unrecognisable if you're trying to compare with the book.
But I'm going to stop ranting now.
