Bring Back Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle

Update 09/02/10 -- Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle has been recommissioned for a second series! See http://www.chortle.co.uk/news/2010/02/09/10485/more_stew_for_bbc_two?rss Thanks to everyone who signed, pushed and prodded in any way! Thanks, Dan

To:  The BBC

It appears that the BBC have deigned not to recommission Stewart Lee’s Comedy Vehicle for a second series.

Met with huge critical-acclaim across the media and commended for making the viewers think, the decision appears to have been justified merely for not achieving the viewing figures the BBC would have liked.

As a public broadcaster, the BBC should not be chasing viewing figures and should provide a broad range of programming catering for all tastes. Stand-up comedy is already poorly catered for on the broadcaster and decommissioning a critically-successful series without giving it opportunity to grow, shows a lack of commitment to the genre.

Therefore, we request that the BBC recommission this excellent programme for a second series.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
