From the other side of the pond (and inside the industry): we are blessed by the BBC in terms of the fact that ratings for a drama aren't necessarily what they'll use when it comes to ordering another series (although 1.2m overnights is a fair average for a BBC weekday evening drama - for context, getting 8-9m for an episode of Sherlock is stratospherically high). They champion their dramas - they commission them based on their passion for them, and in this case they know they have a high, high quality show. If it doesn't get recommissioned, I will bet serious money it's because they cast too many amazing and in-demand actors and that their writer is being poached by the film industry - not ratings (just to put your mind at rest!).

This does put my mind at rest, thank you! And it may be my first lesson in don't believe everything you read on tumblr. :)
