Viewers are up in arms after news that ITV has decided to skip straight to episode three of Pushing Daisies so that the end of the series doesn't clash with Euro 2008.
The first episode of the US drama, which stars British actress Anna Friel, debuted last weekend with 5.7 million viewers.
Now angry fans of the show are bombarding online forums with complaints after it was revealed that ITV are not showing the second episode.
There are nine episodes in the first series of the fantasy drama and ITV have only eight weeks in the schedule before the start of the football tournament.
An ITV spokesperson said: "Episode two was the only show we could drop without spoiling the storyline."
We think this decision shows a total disregard for viewers. Couldn't they have scheduled a double-bill one week or screened the final episode earlier or later in the evening to avoid a clash with the football? Why promote a series so heavily and then treat it like this?
What do you think of the decision? Did you watch the first episode and will this make you less likely to continue watching the series? Let us know what you think...

I was wondering why I was left feeling lost and had many questions unanswered after watching this weeks episode, that explains alot! I won't try and make sense of the rest of the series, which is a shame really as I did get caught up in the hype and promotion of the show, and i'm sure i'm not the only one! Come on ITV, get your act together!
