Number of series per year is not the best comparison.

Give or take one or two, and including COCs,

It took the first 18 9-round series 7 years to go from 1 to 18.

First seven years: 937 episodes - 134 episodes per year.

It took the first 18 15-round series 9 years to go from 46 to 63.

Most recent nine years: 2091 episodes - 232 episodes per year.
