THE BBC has axed a comedy series with a huge comedian as its star just weeks after their epic TV return.
The Corporation has a number of comedies on its books, but some have been more successful than others.
Now, TV Zone is reporting that Queen of Oz has been axed after just one series.
The comedy was co-written and starred Catherine Tate as Queen Georgiana, a disgraced member of a fictional British Royal Family.
Considered the 'black sheep' of the family, Georgiana has spent her formative years plastered all over the tabloids, making her quite the PR disaster.
But the party girl has to step up when she is sent to Australia to rule the country after her mother, The Queen, takes the unprecedented step of abdicating her Australian throne.

The Queen hopes her decision will be the making of her spoilt daughter, whose knowledge of the country doesn't expand beyond the hunky Hemsworth brothers.
The comedy aired earlier this year and consisted of six episodes.
The news comes just weeks after Catherine made her highly anticipated return to Doctor Who.
Catherine, 54, resumed her role as Donna Noble alongside David Tennant, who originally played the 10th Time Lord.
