petition

The announcement galvanised super-fan Carys Ashby to set up the petition to try to save it, but as the last of more than 4,500 episodes is broadcast, she has accepted defeat, saying its final bow represents the "end of an era".

As medical TV drama Doctors says farewell with its final episode later, a 9,000-signature petition to try to save it shows just how much it resonated with audiences.

It has backed a petition started by Julie Doorne in Grantham, Lincolnshire, which has been signed by over a million people and been delivered to Downing Street.

It said it was spurred to action after 5,000 people signed a petition calling for the change, and argued the switch would give people across the world the chance "to engage with the Welsh language and its rich culture".

SAG-AFTRA said it has filed an election petition to represent intimacy coordinators employed by companies in the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.
