Popular prison drama Bad Girls has been axed after eight series.
The long-anticipated decision not to recomission the programme finally came today and resulted in a 13% drop in the shares of programme makers, Shed Productions.
Shed chief executive Eileen Gallagher said: "Naturally we're disappointed that Bad Girls has not been recommissioned, especially as the last series performed well during a tough summer for ITV."
This is the second blow ITV have dealt Shed, having axed Footballers' Wives in May after only five series.
An ITV spokeswoman told DS: "Bad Girls has been a terrific show for us over the years performing consistently in the peak time schedule, but we need to make way for new series ideas in order to keep ITV1 refreshed and relevant for the modern audience."
Bad Girls first broadcast in 1999 and ran for 111 episodes. A Christmas special filmed earlier this year will still be shown in December.

Niin-PÄ ! Tuota kässärin köykäisyyttä taivastelin itsekin .matami kirjoitti: Ei Tanya, etenkään Tanya, oikeasti voisi tehdä noin suurta mokaa, että menee tapaamaan heppua tämän valitsemaan paikkaan ja sniffailemaan tämän tarjoamia aineita
Sarja tosiaankin loppui ärsyttävällä tavalla ihan kesken. Taisi olla niin, että tuotantokausi olisi päättynyt tuohon jaksoon, mutta seuraavaa kautta ei enää ikinä tullut .
Ei Pelinaisetkaan enää alkuaikojen loistoon yltänyt, mutta varsin viihdyttävä ohjelma kuitenkin..
Siis kamalaa, Bad Girlsinkin tekeminen lopetettu!Spencer kirjoitti:Popular prison drama Bad Girls has been axed after eight series.
