It was hoped it would be as successful as Yorkshire's other BBC police drama Happy Valley
A popular Leeds-based BBC police drama will not be returning with the show being cancelled after one series.
Filmed across Leeds, Better starred Andrew Buchan as ruthless Irish gangster Col McHugh and Leila Farzad as corrupt DI Lou Slack. The crime thriller was a five-part series written by Jonathan Brackley and Sam Vincent - it was hoped it would potentially be as successful as Yorkshire’s Happy Valley. A TV insider told The Sun: “Better did good business, averaging almost four million viewers an episode, and there was an appetite to learn more about the tangled lives of McHugh and Slack. But the BBC is keen to bring a slew of new shows which means that, unfortunately, some popular dramas have to make way.”Following the series airing, it was reported Andrew allegedly had a romance with co-star Leila. Andrew shares two children with former Emmerdale star Amy Nuttall - Leila was also married.
