Friends TV spin-off Joey scrapped

TV sitcom Joey has been cancelled by broadcaster NBC after failing to recapture the popularity of Friends.

Joey, a spin-off from the long-running TV favourite, featured Matt LeBlanc's character after a move to Hollywood.

The series was put on hold in March after just four million people tuned in - down from the 18.6 million who watched its debut in 2004.

NBC has also announced a new series from The West Wing creator Aaron Sorkin, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.

It is billed as a behind-the-scenes drama about a late-night comedy show and features former friends star Matthew Perry, The West Wing's Bradley Whitford and Amanda Peet.

The Apprentice spin-off featuring "domestic goddess" Martha Stewart as the host has been axed after one series after failing to capture the audience of Donald Trump's original show.
