Echo Beach Axed?

Both Moving Wallpaper and Echo Beach will be returning to ours screens later this year, but with Echo Beach being axed within the Moving Wallpaper show.
The true understanding is that Echo Beach will not be returning, but Moving Wallpaper will be, as 30 minute episodes.
Not really sure i understand this myself, after searching the web i'm still unsure what will be happening.
It's been released by ITV, that the MW crew will be working a¡on a new show, a Zombie Show.

I guess time will tell, and ITV will release more news in the next couple of months. The show is now being filmed right now, maybe for a screening in late 2008 or early 2009.

Moving Wallpaper Echo Beach Series 2

ITV has confirmed that both Moving Wallpaper and Echo Beach will be returning to our screens. According to some reports, Echo Beach was going to be an internet based drama, meaning that you would watch the show online. This has been dismissed as rubbish by ITV insiders. Echo Beach is a sure fire return for ITV1, so if your worried about the show dont be. ITV was very pleased with how the show ran, over 2 million viewers at one point, good for a new show, so ITV has decided that both shows might need a little tweak, but they will return.

The Poll - Which is better?

According to some websites, Moving is the sister show to Echo, but with Moving Wallpaper being on first it kind of could be the other way around. Echo to me is the stand out show, but Moving does have some great actors and the story lines are hilarious, Ben Miller being the stand out, a little bit mental Jonathan Pope.

Echo Beach on the other hand is the show that really everyone wants to watch, being the new soap on TV, Moving just seems to be a filler for the first half hour slot. My wife dosent watch Moving, she thinks it has no reason to be on, but loves Echo Beach. Maybe ITV will change the format somehow for the next series, or as the old saying goes, if it aint broke, dont fix it.

Please make your vote count, the Poll is to the right>>

Both shows are on Fridays from 9pm.

Moving and Echo on twice this week

We have been given a double dose of moving wallpaper and echo beach this week, the first shows being on late, but never mind. Also, lots of buzz on the internet about the mole and the whole Martine lesbian story, i think maybe some people think this is real.
The show is moving on quite quick now, we are now half way through the 12 episodes, and i sure it wont be off our screens very long.

You can watch some exclusive clips at ITV.com of the mole and preview of upcoming shows.

Are both shows working together?


After watching the shows now for 4 weeks, and letting the character and whole situation of both shows interacting, i'm not really sure if both shows are working together. Echo Beach seems to be the stand out show, and personally i think could do with being an hour long. This doesn't mean Moving Wallpaper is not a great show, Ben Miler is a great comedy actor and has stood out through the whole programme. I do like the way the shows flow in to one another, and the in jokes etc, but if Moving Wallpaper wasn't their in the first place and Echo Beach was an hour long, would it be more successful. I'm hoping both shows get commissioned for another series, but please make Echo more important, it really works. The characters are now showing their own, and Jason sure does look good back on our screens. Both shows are not even half way through yet, with 12 shows of both programmes scheduled to run.

Watch the next episodes, Friday from 9pm.
