Why the sudden increase in ITV dramas?

[twinsufficient]

Not complaining but why are there so many dramas on ITV atm? Nearly every night there's been a new one. Dh and I wondered whether they've been stockpiling them over the summer whilst the Olympics were on. Long may it continue!

It's great, isn't it? I really enjoyed the Daphne DuMaurier one last night.

autumn alway heralds the start of the new drama season doesn't it, i didn't get the scapegoat last night but i did fall asleep half way through it
