Bad Move is a British television sitcom written by Jack Dee and Pete Sinclair, that premiered on ITV on 20 September 2017.[1] The series stars Dee and Kerry Godliman as Steve and Nicky Rawlings, a middle-aged married couple who escape city life in Leeds by relocating to the countryside. They encounter many problems and soon regret their move.[2]

On 7 November 2017, the show was recommissioned for a second series. It began airing on 19 September 2018.[3] On 5 February 2019, it was announced that the series had been axed by ITV, after 2 series. However ITV bosses revealed later in February that this series, and Birds of a Feather, had not in fact been axed and the announcement was a misunderstanding.[4]
