12 July - Garnock Way concludes after three years on air.[1] It is axed to make way for Take the High Road,[2] which would be shown across the ITV network. ITV had rejected Garnock Way because they wanted, in their words, "lots of Scotch Lochs and Hills".[3] The new soap was a bigger budget affair and more in keeping with the 'tartan' perception of Scotland as it was deliberately set in a more beautiful part of Scotland.[4]
