Yes on Yesterday (formerly UKTV History or something). Watch is also showing some episodes.

Yes Friday's episode was the last in the current series.

They do 15 per series.  Not sure if only 1 per year, but if only 1, can we have 2?

Hi, there were 20 episodes in the series - they take quite a while to make that man.
You can catch up with the last 13 episodes here

Looking forward to the next series already. Fascinating stuff really and got me very interested.

As for the size of the crew, I should imagine that it's possible to film it with a 1 or two person crew (either self shooting "DV director" or camera and director/producer/soundie). Desperately trying to stay out of everyone's way whilst trying to get the good shot!

An example of how times have changed!  I came across this in an 1892 Newspaper today 

Heirs of Christopher Fisk - The address is urgently wanted of a gentleman from America who a few weeks ago was in Manchester seeking information concerning the heirs of one Christopher Fisk originally of Mutford Suffolk, who went abroad many years ago.  If this should be seen by the gentleman, he is requested to communicate at once with Mr Philip G Fisk, 17 Arm Street, Lower Broughton.
