1st series I saw all in one week when BBC showed it vefore the finale, good move.
2nd series I caught as it aired, but it was far more difficult to get into it when it's sprawled over 24 weeks, miss one episode and I had no option but to hunt down a download. Which is a bit pish.
3rd series I gave up about 3-4 episodes in, and i've not gone back.
I have a problem with series like 24 in that the best way to watch them is to set aside a few hours a night and do them all in a week or so. They don't have any storybuilding episodes, or fun aside episodes, or change of topic episodes, it's just go go go till the end. And trying to keep my enthusiasm for that going over 24 weeks is bloody hard.
So the best way for me to view them is via DVD, but i'm not gonna pay for a TV programme I may not enjoy. So that leaves downloading, and I just couldn't be bothered doing 24 episodes via piratebay. So yeah, I'd probably liek this show if I could watch it in my own way, but I can't.
Bit of a ramble there

Since you said you saw it on BBC I'm assuming you are in Brittan (I know some cable/satellite companies here in the states offer it). From what I understand from the message boards at www.gateworld.net TV series released on DVDs over there are usually released as 5 or 6 DVDs instead of one big collection of a season.
