THE York-based TV drama Eternal Law will not be returning, one of its stars has announced.

Samuel West, who played angel Zak Gist, announced the news on Twitter.

He tweeted: “Alas there will be no more Eternal Law. Not enough people watched it. A thousand thanks to those of you who did, and said such kind things.”

He added: “I’ll miss Zak and the gang enormously, but I’m very proud of the work we did. And we’ll always have York. Onward!”

The six-part fantasy drama, from Life on Mars writers Matthew Graham and Ashley Pharoah, followed two angels who worked as barristers to help humans with their problems.

It reportedly drew 5.43m viewers when it began on ITV1 in January, but its audience figures slipped to 2.95m by its final episode.
