Everyone knows how it feels to have your favourite TV show cancelled, a great injustice. But when an ordinary or down right horrendous programme that has been going for years just wont quit, you simply cant understand why the world is being so cruel to you The following is a list we have compiled of the five television programmes that should have been cancelled long ago and yet they still continue to plague our screens...
1. Hollyoaks (1995 Present)
Hollyoaks is set in the fiction village of Chester, mostly following the lives of young, sexy teens. The long running series really started to go downhill for me when Max (Matt Littler) and OB (Darren Jeffries) left the show, after being core cast members from 1996 and 1997 respectively. Littlers character Max died on his wedding day after saving younger brother Tom from being hit by a car driven by crazed character Niall, who was angry about his break up with Maxs new wife. Jeffries character OB left to go and find a better life in America after his alcoholic on-off girlfriend Mel Burton died after smoke inhalation caused by a fire started by a rapist. A show quite true to life as you can see. The show should really have ended after Max and OB left, as they were such iconic characters of the show and especially after long time producer Bryan Kirkwood left the show in 2009, which is the tipping point for when Hollyoaks started to go absurd. But instead every evening at 6:30pm we have characters such as India trying out online dating and getting murdered in the woods, Leanne being a bunny boiler and Who Shot Calvin?. I once worked out you can see the same episode of Hollyoaks around eight times. Who really cares enough to have that many opportunities to try and catch up with an episode theyve missed? Not me.
