In looking at the copyright dates on the DVD set for "Slings and Arrows" I noticed that the entire series was produced over several years with only six episodes produced each production year. I'd be curious to know if the producers were taking a leaf from the production schedule of one of the all-time great series, John Cleese's "Fawlty Towers", or if this is common practice in Canadian television. In any event, this kind of schedule allows for excellent writing, re-writing and relatively unhurried production unlike US TV which demands delivering a new episode every week even if it isn't as good as it could be. Can anyone enlighten me? In any event, I will be watching this series over and over as I do "Fawlty Towers". Many thanks for this terrific series.
