Hearbeat is axed

I was a fan of Hearbeat when it first began, but I have not been for the last few years, because it's tired itself out! One of the things that always bugged me was the show's chronology. When the programme began, it was set in 1964. The setting then moved on, approximately in "real time", until it reached early 1969, where – apart from the Christmas episodes – it has now remained for some years. However, the show's chronology has been seen to be quite flexible: the inhabitants of Ashfordly and Aidensfield have certainly celebrated more than four Christmases between 1965 and 1969. What?! I just can't handle that, especially as they should be somewhere in the mid 70's by now!

All's well that ends well though, as ITV have announced they are axing it. It was on the news media today, please see here. I am pleased to say I thoroughly enjoyed adding this fact on the Wikipedia page for Heartbeat.

Until next time!
