'Dirty Digest' axed by E4 after three episodes

E4 has axed comedy discussion show Dirty Digest after just three episodes.



The series, hosted by model and presenter Michelle De Swarte, was originally commissioned for an eight-week run.

However, the programme has now been cancelled with immediate effect, according to Chortle.

Though a Channel 4 spokesman would not discuss the reasons for the sudden axe, a source apparently told Chortle that the broadcaster was unhappy with changes to the show's senior production staff.

"The crew were changed without prior warning, meaning there was a complete new set of writers and producers," said the unnamed source.

"The talent quite rightly started wondering what was going on, and due to the complete mess created, Channel 4 pulled the plug."

Series contributor and stand-up comic Joe Lycett confirmed the abrupt cancellation on Twitter, writing: "A shame Dirty Digest ended early but it was such a pleasure working with the team. Thanks for watching."

The next edition of Dirty Digest has been replaced in the schedules by a repeat of Chris Moyles' Quiz Night.

I had the misfortune of catching a few minutes of this show and quickly changed channels. There's much better stuff hidden away on E4, almost all of it American.
