ITV Don't Want You To See This

And that's a shame as it's the best three minutes of the entire first series of Pushing Daisies, ITV's brilliant new acquisition that they've already lost faith in. The flagging channel reckons episode two is too weird and will put viewers off, but if they're concerned about a plot about crash test dummies and the search for a biofuel, then they're in for a shock with the rest of the series. ITV have since backpaddled and claim the only reason they've dropped this episode is because they've only time to show eight episodes, but this is nonsense - there's supposed to 20-odd episodes, only reduced because of the writers' strike. What were ITV planning to do with the rest if they've only ever had time for eight?

Anyway, hopefully a broadcaster with an ounce of integrity will pick up the second series. And in the meantime, enjoy with fine bit of Olive - the show's real star.
