I did the same thing when it was brought to my attention Cracking stuff, the second season should be aired about March or April, I think.
I then went on to read the books but the frustrating part is the fat, lazy word removed takes about 5 years to write them. If he puts a spurt on it might be out in around 2016! Apparently there is another one planned for after that!
I expect I'll have lost interest even before the next one comes out, let alone one in ten years from now.
