Green Wing to finish?

Green WingMuch like Marmite, you either love or hate Green Wing. Personally, I think it’s as a good as a mixture of beef flavouring and yeast extract. But it’s bad news for those of you in the minority who love Green Wing: it looks like it’s not going to get a third series.

Broadcast reports that Channel 4 has commissioned a one-off special to tie up the various plot strands, but a third series looks unlikely after that. The reason? Creator Victoria Pile is off to do other projects and they don’t want to go on without her. Loyalty or handy excuse? Let the conspiracy theories begin.

There is some possibility of a third series, depending on Pile’s inclinations, though. If you want, you can always sign an online petition. They always work.
