BBC blocking articles from UK residents

A series of Downton Abbey costs approx £12MM and reaches 13MM people in the UK alone[1].

The 2hr pilot episode of LOST cost $12MM[2]. Each episode of Game of Thrones has a budget of $6MM[3].

So no, they don't cost a lot of money to make, relatively speaking.

Edit: sources.

(although Downton Abbey is an ITV programme)

So it is, my mistake. I got it from a bad source[1]. I think the point still stands though; period dramas are relatively inexpensive to make.
