It tends to be that in American comedies, they have a bigger writing team behind the scenes and so have more ideas bouncing around to last for more episodes, whereas here, it's usually either one person alone or maybe four/five at the most.

I am loving this though. So disturbing. All you can expect from Pemberton and Shearsmith
