Will it be slightly trimmed on ITV1 as well? I wouldn't count it out.

Blimey, this series has a knack for getting dropped - first Channel 4, now Sky...
Nip/Tuck has never rated well. Channel 4 didn't drop it though as far as I am aware, SKY bought the rights exclusively so they couldn't show it anymore. I think the new season in Hollywood might be good
