Why does British TV make so few episodes in a season?

I have been watching BBC America here in the USA, and I have noticed there are only a few episodes made per season.
A few examples.
Spaced only had 7 episodes a season.
Being Human only hs about 7.
And Doctor Who only has about 10 per season.

Why so few?
Does the BBC repeat the same 7 to 10 episodes like 5 times through out the year?
Or does the BBC make numerous mini series that fill the same time slots?
