BBC axe Kröd Mändoon

This will come as no surprise to anyone, but the BBC have decided against commissioning a second series of Kröd Mändoon & The Flaming Sword Of Fire. Comedy Central apparently pulled out of co-funding another series with British partners Hat Trick Productions, effectively ending the financial viability of more episodes.

The comedy, starring Sean Maguire and Matt Lucas, garnered terrible reviews and low ratings on both sides of the pond over its seven episodes. Here in the UK, the series debuted with 1.8 million viewers, which fell to an average of 1.3 million. Really, the only thing I'm disappointed about is that we won't see India de Beafort give an encore performance of her Pagan pole-dance.
