ok, this is a nice show, but; there are only 20 minute episodes (ex
commercials), and they only make 8 eps a season, and then they blow off two eps
on the season opening!? i mean, why do they even bother making it!??
make your mind up itv, are you going to make a show or just tease us?
apparently you are completely unfamiliar with the basics of british tv.
the emphasis has always been 'quality rather than quantity', which is a nice
idea. hasn't always worked, but it was a good idea.
the notion was, and is, get a small group of really talented writers to come up
with 6 to 13 excellent scripts, instead of the american model of putting a shed
load of writers into a shed and see what they come up with.
i'm not saying the yanks got it wrong, it's just a different approach.
the end result is you will never get anything more than, at best, 13 episodes of
a good quality british tv show.
that said low quality british tv runs like diarrhoea.
