A report in The Sun also states that the thriller, starring ex-EastEnders star Nigel Harman, was deemed to be lacking in humour by ITV bosses.
The paper quotes an insider for the television network as saying: "We thought it would be a nice slick thriller. It’s a shame because we like Nigel."
The 90 minute pilot episode, screened on October 3, is reported to have cost roughly £10 million but could only manage 4.7 million viewers and a 22% share.
