I've had countless e-mails over the last number of months enquiring as to the whereabouts of All Saints.

Cast your minds back to 2007 when the BBC aired series five of the hospital drama. Following its 43-episode run, I confirmed that the public broadcaster had acquired the rights to series six and that it would more than likely air in early 2008.

However, here we are in February 2009 and there's still no sign of the next instalment.

So what's going on? Will it ever air?

Well, after getting in touch with the press BBC press office, I'm told that there's still no indication as to when the show will return. All they're confirming is that it will make a comeback.

However, a source told me: "It's looking hopeful that All Saints will return later this year, but nothing's been firmed up yet. As an educated guess, viewers will more than likely have to wait until the autumn."
