BBC viewers demand return of ‘perfect’ series after it comes to apparent end

Long-time fans loved the new episodes – but had one big complaint to share. TV viewers are urging the BBC to bring back an acclaimed series after it appeared to end for good with a two-part Christmas special. The festive period proved rather successful for the BBC, with Gavin & Stacey, Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl and the divisive Outnumbered special proving ratings hits for the corporation.

Drama series The Split, created by Abi Morgan in 2018, has been another success. After originally airing for three series, it returned for the first time in two years with two new instalments set in Barcelona, reuniting viewers with the Defoes – a family of sisters working as divorce lawyers.
Unforgotten and Last Tango in Halifax star Nicola Walker led the specials alongside co-stars Annabel Scholey, Fiona Button and Stephen Mangan, who plays the husband of Walker's character, Hannah. On Monday (30 December), the second part of The Split: Barcelona was broadcast – and it has left viewers hungry for more, with many complaining that there were just two episodes.
“Demand for another full series surely now undeniable,” one fan wrote, with another stating: “The Split: Barcelona did not disappoint. Nicola Walker and Stephen Mangan were as great as ever. Just sad there were only two episodes!”. Similar sentiments were shared by another viewer, who wrote on X/Twitter: “I love everything about this show, from the characters to the theme tune. I just wish it was back for a full series.”.
