"Following the death of Norman Beaton in 1994"...Surely the death of the lead star in the show had NOTHING whatsoever to do with the spinoff series, Porkpie? Taken from his own wiki entry, here is proof that Desmond's was over and the wording IMO should be "Following the end of Desmond's..." or something similar. Anyway, the proof:
"After years of hard living began taking its toll on his health, he retired to Guyana in 1994 (just as his character in 'Desmond's' was doing the same), where he collapsed at the airport and died a few hours later at the age of 60."
That clearly says to me he's retired, hence Desmond's is over...it didn't end because he died, it ended because he retired. The fact that he died is evident but not an integral part of this fact...it had no bearing on the show's future had he lived or died. 78.86.230.62 (talk) 23:23, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
