New series of Death in Paradise and Luther have been promised by BBC head of drama Ben Stephenson as part of his strategy to invigorate BBC1's drama roster - though he said no decision had been made on new series of Young James Herriot and Garrow's Law.
Citing the success of Luther and of Sherlock, Stephenson said: "Audiences are drawn to conflicted characters" and said that Luther would return for four episodes next year - but he wouldn't be drawn on the future of Sherlock before Sunday's finale.
The focus on BBC1 drama also came with the admission that the commitment to drama on BBC3 would be downgraded, with either Being Human or Lip Service axed after their next series or no recommission for The Fades.
