Oh, absolutely. I think that from around late 1966/early 1967, ABPC are having the series made primarily for the US market with the UK market being very much a secondary consideration (akin in some respects to the approach adopted by the series financed by ATV and distributed by ITC). The moment the US network didn't renew the order, that was that.mousemeat wrote:all good and logical points...but the bottom line, even today, is money, BUDGET. and ABC, etc...didn't have a bottomless pit for budgets, unlike their U.S. counterparts at U.S. ABC. AND once U.S. ABC pulled the plug, the show was OVER. despite countless sales and broadcasting in other regions.
All the best
