Hotel Babylon really can't be long for this world can it Paul with ratings like that. I still think it would have rated higher had it been shown on a Tuesday/Thursday like they used to do.
I'd be surprised if Babylon gets a recommission. A combination of an inappropriate timeslot and a general lack of interest must surely have finished it off. Still, for a show which never seemed hugely popular in the first place it had a decent run. I saw a few minutes of an episode recently - have never watched it before - and it just seems a bit...well, unreal. The sets looked a bit odd, sort of larger-than-life and surreal (all bright primary colours) and the acting was....interesting. Odd show, really.
