Paul Cornell's Pulse Not Commissioned

Paul Cornell's screened pilot of his new hospital sci-fi horror TV show Pulse on BBC 3 has not been picked up for a series.

At the Edinburgh TV Festival, BBC 3 controller Danny Cohen said;

The decision about which series to commission was not determined solely by audience numbers. BBC3 looks hard at Appreciation Index responses, how good they thought a series might be. Pulse got an okay AI. There's a range of reasons. It's about which one you think creatively – instinctively – has the most mileage.

However a more supernatural take has been comissioned, Touch by Jack Thorne, about a young man who can talk to ghosts and discovers a war being launched between the living and the dead. BBC3's Ben Stephenson said;

Touch started life as one of our drama pilots but quickly showed such imagination and energy that we asked the hugely talented Jack Thorne to write five more episodes, and Touch the series was born.
