Ah yeah, that's also true. Typical UK season now is 6, 8 or 10. A few decades ago 13 was probably the commonest. I know many are made out of order, even shorter

Ah yeah, that's also true. Typical UK season now is 6, 8 or 10. A few decades ago 13 was probably the commonest. I know many are made out of order, even shorter ones, to tie with locations, sets etc. Dr Who was actually quite the exception there with 26 and even more in the earliest years! US seems to be 15 or unbelievable. They start to feel too long, even shows I enjoy, or perhaps ideas or budget get spread too thin, especially in 2nd and subsequent seasons.
