Sky One's original football drama series Dream Team has been axed after ten years.

The decision was taken by the channel's new controller Richard Woolfe, who has been charged with turning around Sky One's fortunes.

Although it has been a long-standing fixture in the Sky One schedule, ratings for the show have recently dropped to as low as 250,000.

"This amazing show will end spectacularly," said Woolfe. "I want it to finish on a high and don't want it to end in any other way.

Executive producer Jane Hewland, who has had to work to a budget of just £150,000 an hour, said she was "relieved" by the decision.

"Sky pushed us but we wanted to jump anyway," she told Broadcast. "I think it is beyond its shelf life and I'm bored of it."

The final, tenth series of 32 episodes begins filming this July and will air from September.

they have not, it is a typing error, as they have They Think It's All Over as 5.20 but it is 6.20

if you click on the title of the episodes, it has more info and takes you to a full list of the series, on the sky 3 listings on the front page it has 5.19/5.20 etc, but they are actually 6.19/5.19

ie http://www.harchester.net/episodes/episodes.asp?season=6&episode=280
