For two seasons, we've been amused and enthralled by the antics of Terry, James, Patrick and Gary, the manchildren of BBC2's Manchild. Now, though, it seems that the current season is going to be the last... but some of us are unwilling to let it go without a struggle! It seems that ratings aren't the problem - the show is enjoyed by an audience of millions worldwide - rather, it doesn't fit with the "vision" that the current powers that be have for BBC2. And we don't think that's good enough grounds for cancelling a popular show, besides which there have been several plotlines set up this season that can't be resolved unless Manchild is renewed.
In the past, numerous TV shows have been saved by the efforts of their fans, through direct action such as letter writing, postcard campaigns and online petitions. We're hoping that Manchild will soon be one of them. Here, you've got everything you need to do any or all of those things!
Thank you for helping in the effort to SAVE MANCHILD!
