Out of the Blue

[Miranda]

Well, that's good in one way, bad in another

[Lesley Bee]

An extra two days of waiting

Why don't all of us OOBies stick our necks on the line, so to speak, and say who we think is the killer? The person who's right (if anyone is) gets nothing more than the feeling of smug satisfaction

Anyway i'm going to say TESS

[Mrs Bishop]

I have a funny feeling its not a woman I think thats a red herring.

MY guess Daniel Macmanus.

[Zetti]

Tess I think as well.

[Lesley Bee]

Tess I think as well.

Hmmm interesting, two votes for Tess, she is proving to be popular

[irish_angel]

As i already know who the Killer is i won't vote.... It's killing me not to be able to say, i'm rubbish with keeping quiet about stuff like this.

You can always tell me if you want, i'm desperate to know

[Miranda]

I think its Jarrod or Bec. If I had to guess out of them, I'd say.... Jarrod. But then again, it could be Gaby

I think the LEAST likely person is Ron [but it'll probably turn out to be him ].

Irish Angel, pleeeeeeeeeease don't tell us who it is! I know that I'll be at such a loose end once the Olympics finish, that I shall enjoy looking forward to the OOB revelation

Also, we'd better keep the name of the killer in spoilers. If we don't, it'll ruin it for anyone who is just starting to watch OOB.

If you really, really want to know and won't be kicking yourself for finding out before the big reveal then i'll be happy to PM you the name of the Killer. I would suggest waiting though as the build up to it is great.

This is what I wrote to the BBC about our beloved OOTB:

Dear BBC

Can you tell me when Out of the Blue will be back on BBC television

after the Olympic Games? I have heard rumours that it isn't coming

back.

If this is the case, I think you will receive many complaints from

fans, because the identity of the murderer [who killed an important

character in the first week, and so set up the main premise of the

series] is about to be revealed.

If the series is not going to be continued, please can you let me

know where I can view it? It is an excellent series and deserves to

be shown.

Thank you

This is their reply [he obviously hasn't read my question probably, because I was asking about whether it will be back after the Olympic games- I already know it won't be back after the first series ]

Thanks for your e-mail about 'Out of the Blue'.

I understand you're concerned with the news that this series isn't

being re-commissioned as you feel some of the character's ongoing

storylines haven't been resolved.

I can confirm that 'Out of the Blue' won't continue after the current

series which is airing on BBC Two. This was confirmed by Jane

Tranter, Director of BBC Fiction, during a recent Royal Television

Society event.

In answering your question of continuing to watch the programme, I

hope that you'll be able to watch it elsewhere in another capacity,

another channel or a DVD; though I couldn't confirm what that might

be right now.

It's important to note that the programme was only ever commissioned

for a run of 130 episodes and any question over whether it would

continue beyond that was always going to depend on how it played out

with the audience - as is the case with any series. It initially

attracted approximately 1.2m viewers on BBC One. Since its move to

BBC Two it has averaged around 125,000 viewers.

I do appreciate that as a fan you'll find this disappointing.

Therefore, please be assured that I've registered your e-mail on our

audience log. This is a daily report of audience feedback that is

circulated to many BBC staff, including channel controllers and other

senior managers.

The audience logs are seen as important documents that can help shape

decisions about future programming and content.

In the meantime, you can read more about the programme at its website:

Thanks again for contacting the BBC.

Regards

Danny
