Those who thought Peak Practice would fade out silently have been hugely mistaken!
This week the major national TV Magazines declare that the axing of Peak Practice produced one of their largest EVER mailbags, with angry fans writing in demanding for more PP!!!
In response to the fans letters...
TV Choice says: We're afraid there's bad news for Peak Practice fans - ITV1 says there is 'no chance' of a final episode.
TV Quick says: Carlton TV tells us that although the follow-up episode of Peak Practice had yet to be written, they're certain that good would have triumphed over evil, with the nasty nurse plunging to a grisly end while the good doctor would have miraculously landed on a convenient ledge!
With so many responses from Carlton/ITV1 it's hard to know what to believe especially after last weeks reports that both Alex and Claire died.
Meanwhile TV Times soap queen, Tina Baker, talks of the recent cliff hangers that have left Casualty and Bad Girls fans on the edge of their seat. She says: Spare a thought for Peak Practice fans - they'll never again be able to enjoy those halcyon days of broken hearts and broken limbs in the countryside, because their show's been scrapped.
Tis sad but true.......

It's that time of year again when the National TV Award nominations are announced!!
I'm pleased to announce that both Simon Shepherd and Gray O'Brien have been nominated for Best Actor whilst Peak Practice is up for Best Drama. Sadly there are no Peak Practice nominations in the Best Actress field, but ex-PP stars Haydn Gwynne and Sarah Parish have earned their first ever nominations so let's hope they do well!!!
They all face tough competition so look out for the voting forms in the weekly TV Magazines or vote online at ITV's website - but beware - it cost's 75p and requires you to make a new connection through your landline phone!
Good Luck to all the Peak stars past and present and the results will be announced in October.

In this weeks Radio Times (13-19 July) the magazine talks about Peak Practice's axing and says how surprising it is considering the cliff-hanger at the end of the last series. On the Alex and Claire cliff fall, executive producer Sharon Bloom said "It was intended that they died when the went over the edge of the cliff, but who knows - there might have been a lucky ledge".
So if Peak had of returned would that have been the end for Alex and Claire? Leave your thoughts on the Message Board.

Read how the tabloids, news sites and the general media broke the news of Peak Practice's axing here. Including Teletext's report on how us Peak Practice fans attempted to save our favourite drama.

One month after we announced the news, today we find weekly TV magazines reporting that Peak Practice has been axed. In an attempt to 'freshen up' it's output, ITV have axed the drama that brought them 9 years of good ratings, talent and loyal viewers. In a bizarre move, ITV is set to replace Peak Practice with a medical drama set in the Peak District - ??? Logic? If all that is not enough to bring a tear to your eye, here's what Simon Shepherd told one of the TV magazines; 'Of course I'm disappointed. It's a show I love and a character I love. I'll miss the camaraderie of the crew and I will miss Derbyshire.'
We'll miss you too!!!!

Sadly none of the Peak Practice cast were awarded nominations for this years TV Quick Awards.
