ITV complaints

With Breaking Dad currently off air, Bradley and Barney fans are missing their fix of the father/son duo.

However, ITV may need to take heed of the one complaint viewers have about Breaking Dad when it makes its next comeback – it’s just not long enough!

Viewers have been begging ITV to make longer episodes of Bradley and Barney’s show.

One viewer recently said on Twitter: “@BradleyWalsh wish you and #barneywalsh would have an hour long episode of #breakingdad for each location. 30 minutes it’s too short.”

Another tweeted: “Just love this show. Should be longer than half hour! #BreakingDad.”
