Series two of Coming Of Age has just been confirmed. 8 new episodes to follow in 2009.

I am utterly, utterly depressed right now. BBC Three is going down the toilet. They cancel Pulling, but are happy to give this show an extended-length new series... what the hell are they playing at?!?

Sad fact is, it appealed to the demographic the BBC is obsessed with appealing to, and it picked up an audience that stuck with it.

Danny Cohen has pretty much ruined BBC Three. He has commissioned some absolute tosh. What must go through his mind at times?

They'd have been better off with Leonard Cohen.
 

I can't believe Danny Cohen is the same guy, who at E4, comissioned Skins & The Inbetweeners. Two really good programmes.

I wonder with commissioning how much is skill and how much is luck?
 

It seemed to have some good viewing figures. It makes sense they'd pursue more episodes.

Can't argue with that. The Nuremberg rallies were comparable with 'The X Factor' in terms of popularity.
