They probably could double the number of episodes but it would, no doubt, affect the quality of the show. According to the production team the current shows cost ~$10million per episode to make - they have up to 5 camera teams shooting each episode at locations all over the world over a five month period (and, apparently, it's a logistical nightmare), then they have to do all the post-production work.Nictrix said:Maybe I should have been clearer, they run 10 episodes a year, they could make that double and keep people a bit more interested.
Not completely slagging the show as I do like it, just a bit slow at times and having to wait almost a year between series is annoying.
I dare say if they thought that they could make 12/13 quality episodes per season, they would do so (I doubt if the financial side would be a stumbling block now it's a success)
