I watched episode 6 last week. And.... Is that it? Another typical short 6-episode series?

Do the networks in the UK not make any money from these series? If they do, then why don't they produce more than a month's worth of new episodes per year?

I'm sure any fan could do with 20-something episodes if the writing stays up to scratch, but 12 would be acceptable.

Personally, I think there's plenty of subject matter to do 12-20 without it ever getting boring. So many story lines of the current season are ripe for expansion. Or you get a hint of a possible new story in one episode only to never have it materialize later.

So, who do we have to bribe for more IT Crowd episodes? Can the Queen do anything about it?
