As we near the half-way point of the 20-teens decade, it's very noticeable how comedy-drama shows have all but disappeared from British TV (joining the demise of comedy sketch and comedy variety shows). If it wasn't for Sky it would be very slim pickings and even they pulled the plug on Starlings and The Cafe after two series. Stella will be back in January and Doc Martin is supposedly returning for a final series in about a year. Great Night Out was cancelled after one series and Channel 4 seems to have lost interest in Fresh Meat and there's no word on if Being Eileen or Love & Marriage are ever returning, which leaves Mount Pleasant....which just returned for a fourth series. Mount Pleasant's attempt at heavy drama in the last episode was a bit lame though.
