I think on the DVD's one of the producers once said that between the episode finishing being made and it airing on television there is only a gap of about 3 weeks. So they have a tight schedule to keep to.
Plus in the US don't you guys have to the season begin in September and finish in May? Like its a broadcasting rule or something? So they have to space the episodes out so that it begins in September and ends in May. I can't remember where I heard this.
