[QUOTE="AndyB2008, post: 366025, member: 26097"] Ref Out of the Blue from my previous post, maybe one of the reasons for it failing was the whole murder mystery plot running throughout the show. It probably works for something in a primetime slot like Broadchurch where you can invest in it once a week, but not for a 5 days a week Australian daytime soap where the UK audience want something less taxing at that time of day. Hence probably why Murder She Wrote and Diagnosis Murder, which were airing before OOTB took the slot, did well. (Probably why 8 Simple Rules did well) (When Out of The Blue moved to BBC2, live sport forced the show to take breaks, not to mention it could only air 4 days a week than 5 due to the flagship Daily Politics having an extended Wednesday programme until 1.30pm to cover Prime Minister's Questions. As a result, RTE overtook the BBC broadcasts and ended the series before the BBC). [/QUOTE]
