Channel Seven cancels 'All Saints'?

Conflicting reports have once again called into question the future of Australian medical series All Saints.

Australia's The Sunday Telegraph claimed that the show is "facing the axe", while The Australian suggested that the long-running drama has not been renewed for 2010.

Earlier this year, Channel Seven attempted to boost flagging ratings by once again giving the 12-year-old series a revamp, this time turning it into a high-octane "medical response unit".

However, the move backfired with viewers and the expensive outdoor shoots and elaborate helicopter stunts have been cited as one of the reasons the series may be cancelled.

Meanwhile, leading Australian TV blog TV Tonight said that a Seven spokesperson had confirmed that while the show will cease production in August, it has not been axed.

Last month, Channel Seven cut the series' episode order from 48 episodes per year to just 22.
