[QUOTE="AndyB2008, post: 375543, member: 26097"] Ref The Royal Today, ITV probably hoped for success with it because of how the original parent series had been. Unfortunately it launched at the time ITV was considering the future of the parent series and Heartbeat due to cost cutting, so may not have helped either. (A similar thing had happened in the US, when the Pax TV network, now Ion Television, and famous for the Sue Thomas series, launched a version of Ballykissangel in 1999 starring Cameron Daddo called Hope Island at the time the UK parent show was struggling ratings wise, having lost their two main leads and having another of the main cast die later on. Not surprisingly, Hope Island failed after one season and nor it was given a UK airing - don't think RTE aired it either). [/QUOTE]
