SIXTH SERIES A BRIDGE TOO FAR

ACKLEY Bridge, which starred Sunetra Sarker, has been axed by Channel 4 after five series.

A spokesman said: “We’re immensely proud of Ackley Bridge, which over the last five series has received praise for the way in which it has tackled real-life situations and issues in an irreverent and insightful way.

“However, Channel 4 has a responsibility to continuously look for new and innovative ideas and we have made the difficult decision to not greenlight another series.”
