    Good on them. Both shows were pretty cringeworthy any time I saw them.

    Interesting if it proves to be true. SCD has gone exactly the opposite way with two main shows, 5 daily ones, specials and histories of SCD - all at startingly little additional cost as the one saturday show provides the people and much of the video replay. On the other hand the repeats of Midsommer probably are cheaper still.

    I'm really sad about this. I often felt like I was in the minority sticking up for Stephen on here, but I'm sure most of those who didn't like him, or Defrosted wanted something else, not nothing at all! I don't know why they couldn't have tweaked the format, or even brought in something new. It Takes Two was very successful for the BBC as a show in its own right, and I'm sure all added to the sense of drama and helped people to get excited about the main show.

    Being ITV, I'm sure they'll include a lot of the extra stuff on GMTV and This Morning, but I'd much rather concentrate it into a dedicated show. They need to have something on Friday afternoon's at least!

    Bad shows, but sort of a bad move as well ...

    I think it's far too late to ask them to reconsider now, the schedules will all be done. I only used to watch until Jayne & Chris had been on and switched off as to be fair they were pretty rubbish (although 1 x show on a Friday like they used to do with Pop Idol would be nice with all the best bits from the training)

    I'm really disappointed to hear this. One of the things I loove about DOI and SCD is seeing training footage during the week and getting the gossip from back stage. I've signed the petition however I do think it's too late for the schedule to be changed :(

    Michael Grade said he hated Dancing On Ice.

    I wouldn't be surprised if this series was the last.

    No way! ... can't believe they would do that ... how are they going to work the stories and get all of that behind the scenes action? ... really disappointed ... especially loved watching between the live shows!

    No point wasting your time signing. The day time show was just a cheap filler and the itv2 show was awful. Signing it will not bring it back.

    The original day time show was a cheap filler, yes, but it only started a few weeks into series 1, after they saw how popular DOI was. I agree it's too late for Defrosted, the immediate schedule's been filled. However, if they get enough complaints about Exclusive/Extra, there's still time for them to schedule it to start a few weeks after DOI starts, as they did in the past. And while you might not have liked it, most DOI fans did.

    Anyway, there's nothing to lose by signing the petition.

    i loved both shows but it really annoyed me that they put exclusive on at 3.30 cos there was no way i was ever gonna be able to see it :mad: i think it was much better at the more reasonable and easier time of 6.30 or 5.30 whenever it was originally

    TBH they did this with x factor this year, cancelling the spin off shows. It must just be an itv/reality change

    X Factor still had the Xtra Factor

    Then Michael Grade is an exec. chairman with no taste. At the BBC he fired Colin Baker, forced Doctor Who to go on hiatus and tried to get rid of Blackadder.

    If he tries to get rid of Dancing On Ice, it just proves that he has no taste ;)!

    I thought the spin off progs were pretty bad - especially the afternoon ones - but I'm sorry they have been axed. They just needed improving....

    I have signed... I think it's crazy that they just axed them... from 2 add on show to NOTHING.. I wouldn't have minded if they had change them up a bit, renamed them, done something new... but to have nothing for such a popular show seems absurd!
