   The US5 are not the only ones that do this.  Watching a lot of British shows   
   here in the US has taught me they are really bad about it over there.  BBS   
   America (ok so that may be ours!  ) seems to drop shows I get interested   
   in like hot potatoes.  Some are dropped by BBC proper while others are just   
   dropped in the US.   
      
   The BBC proper must do it, too, because it is not PBS   
   that has cancelled some of my favorites over the recent years.   
      
   I also hate it when they kill my favorite characters off.  SciFi is bad about   
   that and, from what you said about DCI Banks, I am afraid I may be unhappy   
   with the coming season when it reaches PBS.  :(
