Why do British television series have so few episodes?
825357
Historically, British television has always had a shorter season than American television.  It's probably because the industry for British television (and its budgets) are generally smaller than those for American television.  Similarly, American cable networks with original programming are now starting to work with shorter seasons, which also allows them to introduce a larger variety of shows in a given season.

The amount of viewers the show has and if these figures continue to rise, stay steady or fall!\n\nAlso, the content of the programme and its target age group.

It got cancelled after 3 seasons. that's way back around 2000/01. It may surface on UK Gold at some point. That's your best bet as you can't get it on dvd yet. I know, my girlfriend's mum has tried with no success.

Because cartoons are geared for a childrens understanding and attention span. Most cartoons are about a half hour long because a kid can only stay interested in a storyline for so long. Older people watch soaps for differing reasons. Some think they can solve the actors problems. Some live through the actors' lives. Some are bored and like the fantasy life of the character. Some, like myself, have watched soaps since I was really little, with my mom. I don't know what you call "old people shows" but I like CSI, Crossing Jordan, Las Vegas and American Idol. I don't know what category that puts me in...but maybe I am an old person. Depends how old you are compared to me. You could be right! I still like to watch cartoons too, like Shrek and Toy Story. One of my favorite comedies is Home Alone 1 and 3. So, I guess it depends on the old person, huh? <*)))><

It usually gets cut out to be replaced by commercials, and usually the viewers don't even notice or aren't concerned. A number of Adult Swim's anime shows do show the episode titles, though.

No, this was just the last of the episodes until 2007. I believe they will show eight more episodes when the show returns.

TV shows often don't show new episodes (or only show repeats) during the holiday period, because TV ratings are lower during this period.  Commander in Chief is an example.  It hasn't been cancelled, the next episode is due January 10th.

sort of because now that American Idol and 24 are over there is really nothing much on TV. And that would have been some cool news footage. Well there is always tommorow i guess

It used to be a good show, then it seems like they ran out of stuff to do... Its still a decent show if there is nothing else on.

As far as I know, it was canceled a while ago. That doesn't mean it's not worth buying. Just because the show isn't going to get finished, doesn't make the old episodes bad.

Nopes, I'd rather watch two episodes of 20-25 minutes each, because the sitcom format wouldn't do well in such a lenghty episode format. That is best suited for drama, where they need the time to develop their storylines and depth of characters.

The first season had 22 episodes. The next season will have the same amount. :)
