A BBC star has claimed that the corporation axed his new show because the audience was 'too old' and 'too blue-collar'.
Martin Clunes, 57, said that new comedy Warren was cancelled after one series because TV chiefs weren't happy with the demographics it was attracting.
He made the comments while in Cornwall filming the ninth series of Doc Martin for ITV.
