The BBC will reportedly scrap the daily repeats of Murder She Wrote from its afternoon schedule.
The move follows BBC Trust criticism about the amount of repeats shown on the network, the Mirror reports.
Money will instead be spent on new dramas and current affairs programming.
"The obvious slot is after the Doctors soap," a source said.
"Murder She Wrote will be replaced by something fresh that will appeal to the Trust and hopefully to lots of our viewers."
A BBC spokesperson added: "Recent daytime dramas including Land Girls and Jimmy McGovern's Moving On, which both return this autumn for second series, have proved hugely popular with viewers."
About time too !!
