It's been announced that ITV has decided to cancel its hit medical drama, Malpractice , which had viewers hailing it as "gripping" and "excellent" . The show took inspiration from the BBC's smash hit, Line of Duty , but instead of a corrupt police officer being the focal point of an investigation, it was a doctor facing a malpractice inquiry. However, on Wednesday, ITV confirmed they had decided against renewing the "brilliant" series. An ITV spokesperson said: "We're very proud of the two series of Malpractice and grateful to everyone who supported the show.

" Commissioning decisions involve many factors and while there are no plans for a third series, we'd like to extend our thanks to Grace Ofori-Attah and the team at World Productions for producing two brilliant series ."
