Bell.The series was the first in 19 years to be only six episodes long, due in part to the BBC axing the show and then re-commissioning it. Actress Juliette Kaplan (Pearl) wrote on her website that the series was a result of fan response to rumours of the show's axing in December 2008, whilst director Alan J.W. Bell also credited the series to fan reaction.The series continued with the same trio from series 30, with Russ Abbot (Hobbo), Burt Kwouk (Entwistle), and Brian Murphy (Alvin). Peter Sallis (Clegg) and Frank Thornton (Truly), who were previously central characters, remained, but were now secondary characters, only taping studio scenes owing to the cost of insurance for actors of their advanced age on location. Jane Freeman (Ivy) also filmed only in-studio scenes.On 2 June 2010, the BBC announced that the 31st series would be the last, despite the show still having a loyal fan base.
