Rejected petition Stop Merlin being axed by the BBC

More details

Merlin is absurdly being axed by the BBC, this is a joke. We request that the government take action to stop this show being axed, the BBC must not be allowed to get away with axing shows that are fun for all the family, considering these people pay a license and therefore have the right to watch a vastly popular TV show.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Responsibility for what is broadcast on television and radio rests with the broadcasters and the organisations which regulate broadcasting - the Office of Communications (OFCOM), the BBC Trust and the Welsh Fourth Channel Authority (S4C). They are independent of the Government.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
