The creator of BBC One con-artist drama “Hustle” has said its newly-commissioned eighth series will be the last.
But writer Tony Jordan has not ruled out the possibility that “Hustle”, which first aired in 2004, could be revived.
“Do you allow the show to fade away or… quit while you’re ahead?” Tony asked Broadcast magazine. “You want to go out like James Dean in a fast car,” he added.
A BBC spokesperson confirmed the next series of “Hustle” would be the last “with the current gang”.

That's a shame but I can see the sense of it. I love ths show - though admit it's just a bit of fluff - mainly for Robert Vaughan. He's still got it even after all these years.
The show is a bit of fluff but I do enjoy it - mostly for Robert Vaughan; it's nice to see him still working.
It's necessary to have a series that's just good old-fashioned fun though and "Hustle" is the modern-day equivalent of "Minder". I suspect it's even harder to write a successful script for than "Doctor Who"!
I like all the cast though it probably lost an asset when Marc Warren left whereas I prefer Kelly Adams to Jaime Murray. I might be wrong but I think Robert Glenister is the only actor to have appeared in every episode. Vaughn is terrific and perfectly named as Albert Stroller!
