I suspaect that the main thing that makes it more TV freindly is that fewer cameras are required and in turn fewer personnel and lower transportation costs etc. etc. are required to cover the action. Why else are we to assume that Darts is shown as a sport and that 'real life' drama is constantly on our screens in place of the lavish productions that were always so popular in the past.

It's the TV exec's great con that we've been falling for increasingly over the last decade or so.
