Incorrect In The Flesh Quotes

The Radio Times interviewed Will Gould yesterday, the executive producer of the recomissioned by Amazon Ripper Street after BBC cancelled it, to ask what he thought the chances are of In The Flesh rising again on either Amazon Prime Instant Video or Netflix streaming service.

He explained to Radio Times, “I’ve heard of a few campaigns since Ripper Street, and this is the first one where you think it might work, because of the show being so distinctive and the fan base being so loyal. Fundamentally though it is a business decision. Those creative credentials are just part of the equation I guess. For them, the question is, ‘Will this show bring more subscribers?’ It’s probably that simple.”

So we sent out a single tweet, asking, “If [Amazon or Netflix] #RenewInTheFlesh would you subscribe to their service in order to watch it?”

The question was met immediately with a resounding “YES!” from fans of In The Flesh and @AmazonVideoUK and @NetflixUK were hit with 974 tweets in response in a matter of hours – a number which is STILL going up even now!

We think it’s fair to say that should Amazon or Netflix feel the BAFTA winning In The Flesh is a series they would like to have in their portfolio of shows, then they would significantly attract more subscribers to their streaming service, not to mention DVD/Blu-ray sales thereafter, and then there’s always branded merchandise…  to recommission this zombie series, really is no-brainer!

"In The Flesh" is a universally acclaimed, award-winning TV show with a massive, dedicated, loving fandom. On 16th January 2015, BBC Three announced their decision that they would not be continuing to make more "In The Flesh" episode, and the series scrapped.  The "Give In The  Flesh a third season" petition alone has over 30,000 signatures, and we believe that the writers, cast, crew, and fans deserve so much more. We believe that this fantastic show deserves a new home, and to provide fantastic programming beyond its mere two seasons.  Netflix would be perfect for this, and we believe that "In The Flesh" would be perfect for it.
