Richard Eden, The Telegraph, 8th May 2011Bring Back Whites campaign gathering steam
Full disclosure upfront. I have only seen two episodes from the first (and only) season of the BBC situation comedy, Whites, starring Alan Davies as an executive chef at a country house hotel that has "past his sell-by date". That said, I feel qualified to comment on the current "Bring Back Whites" campaign as this is a show that I have been tracking since it went in to production.
Bill Young, Tellyspotting, 18th March 2011Petition: Bring Back 'Whites'
I was delighted my post about the online campaign to save the BBC2 sitcom Whites was very much appreciated. Last I checked, it has been re-tweeted 167 times and shared on Facebook 67 times. A special thanks to @britishcomedyguide and Whites stars @alandavies1 and @isysuttie for helping in that endeavour.
Dan Owen, Dan's Media Digest, 16th March 2011Feature: Bring Back Whites... Please
Most of you reading this will probably have at some point been a fan of a TV programme that has been cancelled by its host channel prior to it reaching its natural or intended conclusion. Personally I struggle to think of any, well that was the case right up to the point when the BBC decided not to commission a second series of the sitcom Whites.

So what can you, the public, do to try and save Whites?
