Lilies is a British period-drama television series, written by Heidi Thomas, which ran for one eight-episode series in early 2007 on BBC One.[1][2] The show's tagline was "Liverpool, 1920. Three girls on the edge of womanhood, a world on the brink of change."[3] Despite high ratings of 4.5–5 million viewers and being The Sunday Times Pick of the Week for eight weeks in a row, Lilies was not recommissioned for a second series.[4][5][6]
The BBC's controller of fiction has explained why Lilies has been axed.
