The Witchfinder starred comedian Daisy May Cooper and was produced by Alan Partridge star Steve Coogan but has been axed after ratings decreased

BBC comedy The Witchfinder, which boasts an impressive cast including comedian Daisy May Cooper has reportedly been axed after just one season with ‘the high ratings decreasing over time’.

The BBC comedy sees a failing witchfinder (Tim Key) transport a suspected witch (Daisy May Cooper) across East Anglia in the mid 1600s to a trial that could change his fortunes forever.

In a series produced by Steve Coogan, the witch is described as ‘an inquisitive, uncouth woman whose ability to prick his pomposity and ask uncomfortable questions turns a straightforward journey into a life-changing ordeal’.
