The market for DVD sales of stuff like this is enormous, and giving a show like that a proper ending will only boost those sales. The loonies won't understand this, and exploiting their new-found magical powers, they'll go ballistic every time any old crap is cancelled. So yeah, rod for backs. Man O Man is next. If you see a load of drunk women in Dorcas St, you'll know who sent them in.

It will end with either the heat death of the universe, or the "bring back Con the Fruiterer" petition. Whichever comes first. BTW, what the fuck is "The Class"? Where will it end, Ross?
