I think the BBC's used to mini-series, basically - and I imagine they work with the way funding and everything operates. You often get very small writing teams and a series will be put together almost in entirety before it airs.
The problem with The Silence wasn't that it was a mini-series - it just needed one more episode to finish it off.
