Dear faithful readers,

by now you have probably heard that Kingdom has been canceled. If you haven’t heard you can read all about it over at Mr. Fry’s blog.

Buggery bollocks and bum in a jock strap I say!

Yes I am fully aware it is not a revolutionary show like Lost lets say. It is a complete opposite in fact – no fancy doodahs and wizz bangs. And I’m perfectly aware that some might find it yawn inducing because it is quite light and fluffy. And the main character is not a serial killer/a demon hunter/a curmudgeon of a doctor but a rather nice and affable gentleman who tries to have a kind word for everyone in a small town. Shocking, right? Oh I am aware of all of that. And maybe the series has run it’s course like most shows do.

BUT I do like my Sunday viewing to be light and fluffy and cozy and comforting and with pretty landscapes. I can watch gritty, gruesome and grueling every day of the week. The story was just getting interesting and it did end with a cliff hanger. I absolutely abhor it when writers are not given the chance to wrap things up. The story does not get told and it irks me to no end.

And while I am aware that Mr. Fry can have his pick of the projects where in the world am I going to see Phyllida Law now? Eh? Love. Her. And Karl Davies gave me such giggles. I can see Hermione Norris in Spooks but she is sooo much more fun as Beatrice.

Tsk! Can’t we have a nice little special at least to tie up all the loose ends?

Anyhow if you are that way inclined you sign the petition that has been started over on Facebook. I do not know how many signatures they would possibly need for ITV to even consider a possibility of a wrap up episode but it does not hurt to try.

And then we you are done you watch Stephen Fry as Peter Kingdom make a tit out of himself while high on magic mushrooms
