Anyway I just got the latest FC catalogue this morning and on the cover it says:
The Final Fiona Cooper Sale
From now until March 7th 2008
After that day Fiona Cooper titles will probably no longer be available for sale.
It also says a bit later "After that date tere may be no one here to process further orders."
Inside "Chloe" explains that "Mum, driven by financial necessity, has decided that enough is enough. I have been losing her money for some time, ans there comes a point when she has to cut off the supply I guess."

A similar situation occurred with "Fiona Cooper" about 3 years ago. In the editorial that month there were the same ramblings about having to close down due to losing money. A "final" sale was offered and the vidoes/DVDs were to be sold off at half price.
Then low and behold a few months later the "Cooper" empire is resurrected in the form of "Chloe Cooper" in charge. Of course as we all know "Fiona/Chloe Cooper" are the same man - Phil Sutcliffe.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if this were just another cunning marketing ruse by Sutcliffe to gain extra sales.
