Meanwhile, another 1,000 people have backed a campaign called @bringbackjudi on Facebook and Twitter.
It appears that although BBC bosses had hoped the crescendo of complaints would die down after Judi’s last show, on Friday, they appear to be gaining momentum.

It is not clear why the show is being dropped but the Daily understands it was not Judi’s choice to leave and that she is deeply saddened....

I-com first ranked firms by Klout alone - a figure prepared by Twitter to rank the effectiveness of its users - and Stephens Scown was placed second, but when they factored in the size of the firm and its revenue compared to other larger firms, Stephens Scown moved into first place.
