Production of daytime medical drama Doctors is to end, the BBC has announced.
After running for 23 years, the show has been affected by "super inflation in drama production", causing costs to rise significantly, the BBC said.
It said it had faced a choice on whether to re-invest in the Birmingham site where the show is made or finance new shows in the West Midlands.
The final episode will be aired in December 2024.
The BBC said it would be "working closely with BBC Studios to give it the finale it deserves".
It also thanked all the cast and crew who had worked on the show since 2000.
