I wonder if they film quite close to broadcast. This doesn't appear as a "box set" on iPlayer which suggests they've not finished filming before the series starts. This article sounds like it's just happened, so they are probably still filming this series rather than next? With that short lead time they wouldn't be able to postpone (unless they skipped a week, but that's annoying for the schedulers and listings guides)
