"Short Lived"

I know this is probably ignorance; but, 4 series for a UK sitcom is not short lived (as per the synopsis on the main page). Television shows in the UK do not have Hollywood budgets and do not have 24 episode seasons. Six or seven per series (season) is common, though popular shows may do a season more than that. Meanwhile, they tend to have the same writer(s) for the entire run of episodes, which tends to give a better consistency to things. Usually, anything over 3 series/seasons is considered quite good.

Fortunately, Ah keep mah feathers numbered for just such an emergency!
