So this is it, judgement day, the network executives have spoken, Echo Beach is no more. What will Jonathan Pope, the programme’s irrepressible producer and his team do next?

ITV1 have today announced the brand new series of Moving Wallpaper, from the makers of Life On Mars, Spooks and Hustle.

Ben Miller (Armstrong And Miller, Primeval, The Worst Week) reprises his role as hapless producer Jonathan Pope and is joined once again by Raquel Cassidy (Party Animals, Lead Balloon), James Lance (Teachers, Sensitive Skin), Sarah Hadland (Learners, Peep Show), Elizabeth Berrington (The Dinner Party, The Office), Lucy Liemann (The IT Crowd), Dave Lamb (The Smoking Room) and Sinead Keenan (Trouble With Sex).

Moving Wallpaper picks up where the last series ended – Jonathan and his team await their fate at the hands of the merciless Head of Continuing Drama at ITV1, Nancy Weeks (Raquel Cassidy).

With Echo Beach ending what will Nancy the ‘scowl in the pencil skirt’ have in store for them all?

And more importantly, if they do keep their jobs, will the world be ready for another Jonathan Pope production?
