the biggest reason is that historically british tv shows were almost entirely written by one person and writing 22 scripts is exhausting (hence red dwarf's 6-8 episode seasons, for example - doug naylor is at minimum co-credited as a writer on every single episode; jonathan creek is wholly and entirely a david renwick creation; etc) - the notable exception is of course doctor who, which in its modern guise is very much made in an american style

the second biggest reason is arcs - the british have a lower tolerance for filler

the third biggest reason is probably the actual biggest reason - money

Also, we don't really have "seasons" in British TV. We don't even use the word season (although it's creeping in colloquially). With the US shows I watched you would always have a rough idea of when you could expect the next season to start; British TV was always more up in the air.

yeah, i'm no fan of "seasons" but it's pretty much taking over, alas
