Why did they have to cancel Banished.

Why must they cancel all the good shows. I really enjoyed it and was hoping there would be a second series.

I like historical tv shows and can't wait for Jamestown to return.

I only watched it for Rory mccann so lost interest before the end of series 1.

Didn't even realise he played the hound in GOT.

I used to watch this on iPlayer when my DD was a baby, so have a bit of a soft spot for it. It was a shame it wasn't continued but I don't think it did very well - not popular and some controversy about the lack of representation of Aboriginal people.

He's the only reason I watched GOT too Grin

Christ was that the guff where all the men went crazy over that woman with the tiny face? She was the only part of Ripper Street I hated too.

Everything she's in, she drives men insane with lust, it's the entire storyline.

MyOtherProfile · 31/12/2017 06:42

Who's that then?

shittyshitybangbang · 31/12/2017 09:40

I think she's talking about MyAnna Buring. She played Elizabeth.

Yes, Myanna Buring. Sure she's a nice person but the roles she plays are all hugely irritating.

AWitchCalledMeg · 31/12/2017 10:06

Agree, I felt there was a lot more story to tell. It wasn't faultless but so much better than a lot of the rubbish on tv

numbereightyone · 31/12/2017 10:11

I agree. I can't see why it didn't get recommissioned. It was great writing from Jimmy McGovern, an interesting story and brilliantly acted.

I loved this too. Such a shame it wasn't picked up again. Hated Jamestown though.

MorrisZapp · 31/12/2017 10:31

I was much more annoyed when they cancelled Ripper Street. Luckily amazon picked it up and made two more series of it!

It's baffling the shite they show on television, and the quality stuff that gets dropped.

Give me 8 seasons of Banished over GOT. I really don't understand the hyper surrounding that show, I watched it and was so disappointed. So much sex and nudity.

Yes I guess not everyone is watching it for Rory Mccann Grin

shittyshitybangbang · 02/01/2018 15:56

after watching Banished I am obsessed with Joseph Millson, he's so handsome. I googled him and I am now watching every show he is in.Grin

So I just googled Joseph Millson to see who he was and found a load of photos of naked male actors holding fish.

Confused

Just thought I'd share in case anyone is weird has a fish fetish. Hmm

EnidButton · 02/01/2018 16:10

Oh there's women too. It's a whole thing. Fishlove.co.uk

Sorry, completely off topic! Blush

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 02/01/2018 16:12

I loved Banished but once they hung Julian RT, it was pointless for me

shittyshitybangbang · 02/01/2018 16:34

I think I liked the fish pic more. Grin Although you could pop almost anyone in that uniform on the right, and they'd look good.

EnidButton · 02/01/2018 16:50

Fishy. Excellent arms though.

Why did they have to cancel Banished.
shittyshitybangbang · 02/01/2018 16:54

@EnidButton It's for a good cause but the pictures look so weird. Couldn't they come up with better way to raise awareness.

OP posts:
EnidButton · 02/01/2018 17:17

Well they grab the attention I suppose. I thought some of them were quite beautiful in a way.

You can buy posters! Grin

shittyshitybangbang · 02/01/2018 17:23

It sure does grab attention.Grin
