Blue Heelers put down after 12 years
Friday Jan 13 21:12 AEDT
Blue Heelers, one of Australia's longest-running television drama series, has been axed after 12 years.
Produced by Southern Star for the Seven Network, the weekly police drama's executive producer, Gus Howard, broke the news to staff on Friday, thanking them for their commitment and dedication.
The decision to end production came after 12 months of flagging ratings, indicating that despite efforts to rejuvenate the show, "it had run its course", a Seven spokeswoman said.
"Much of the success of Blue Heelers has been attributed to one of the best ensemble casts of any drama on television, with most every cast member becoming a household name," Mr Howard told staff.
Some of those names included star of Broadway stage and Hollywood screen Hugh Jackman, and actor David Wenham.
But the show's best known characters were the innocent Constable Maggie Doyle, played by three-time Gold Logie winner Lisa McCune, and crusty Sergeant Tom Croydon, played by John Wood.
Damn that was a good show!
