1980-81 only one show?
Does anyone know why?
shareYes but what an episode it was. Whoops has to be one of the finest.
It's only relatively recently that a series has been produced every year. Before then, I suppose the cast, being younger, had other commitments.

Actually, what really happened was that the programme's contract with the BBC had run out, and Michael Grade had just become head of BBC 1. Grade decided to give the programme a special which was to depend on the viewing figures if there should be another contract for 3 series.
But I can understand why Grade made this decision, if you watch the 1979 series, the storylines are not at their best and need a real push.
Of course it recieved another 8 contracts over the years, and has come to the end of it's most recent contract, but will be another one? I believe that they should keep it going, though the storyline are not at their usual heights it deserves to go on.
