Re: 54

Yeah, as an American, I don't quite understand that. We do 13 episode seasons if the studios aren't certain the shows going to fly and they want to test the waters, otherwise we expect our shows to put out 23 episodes. Wait too long between seasons and people get sucked into something else and forget about the show they were watching. Of course, we could just have short attention spans.

But seriously, I wonder if there's some logistical reason for British seasons being so short. Are all the shows sharing studio space, and have to clear out so the next show can film? Or do the actors have other gigs they gotta do, and can only afford to spend a couple of months on a TV show?

Re: 54

The only reason I can imagine would be that British tv companies only want series of shows to last for one season, and I mean season in the 'Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter' sense - in summer there's hardly any serial shows on due to the holidays and stuff, and channels organise the shows they put on during the year in a 'Spring lineup', 'Autumn lineup' etc etc. That said, British channels do broadcast the longer American series so maybe I'm just talking out of my hat!

Re: 54

Well that kind of makes sense. Summer is our down season as well -- though sometimes studios test out new or quirkier than normal shows during that time to see if they'll fly, usually it's just wall to wall reruns. Though lately, our seasons have gotten kind of crazy, with mid-season breaks lasting longer than the space between finale and start, which kind of blows the whole idea of even having a finale.

From what I know, they tend to spend longer on each episode during production. I remember reading that they spent about two weeks on each episode for Torchwood, and for America they tend to get through an entire episode in a week.

I don't know what the production time tends to be on Canadian shows though, but I think it might be a mix, because some of our shows follow the American standard, and some follow the British. We're a little confused up here.

Re: 54

Well, not exactly in a week -- The writer finishes the script out several weeks ahead of time, the set team goes to work, then principal photography, and last special effects. But at any given moment they have several episodes in production at once. Which is still slow compared to the soaps that grind the episodes out at an incredible rate.

Re: 54

Sorry, I mis worded a little there. I mean the time they take to actually film the episode, I wasn't counting pre or post production at all. American shows tend to do the filming aspect a bit quicker it seems then a lot of the British and some of the Canadian productions.
