[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] They're repeated on UK Gold roughly seven billion times a day. They're on DVD too (both Region 1 and region 2), if you're keen. The original episodes were half hour (or 24-28 minutes), and the stories ranged from 3 to 13 episodes long (scary crazy Daleks running everywhere!) The original point of the show was partly educational. During Hartnel's tenure they'd often have stories set on past-day Earth. They got dropped as the series went on, but present day Earth stories became more popular. During either Davison or Colin Baker's time (I can't remember), the episodes became 45 minutes long, but only for a brief time. Also, the number of episodes shown over a year gradually decreased. And to add to Lee: The reason that most British shows are only 6-10 episodes long a season is that they are often written by just one or two people, rather than the big teams US sitcoms have. And Red Dwarf had low production values? Okay, the sets for seasons 1 and 2 were pretty bad, but the ship shots were pretty close to early TNG levels, at a fraction of the cost. [/QB][/QUOTE]
