I see absolutely nothing wrong in a 6-episode series. There are many stories that can be told well in 6h (and a 1h programme on the BBC really is 1h, or about 57m anyway - no commercial breaks!).

That's BBC, but other channels such as STV have commercials. The problem as I see it is you get into the series and it's over.
If a series is good then 6 episodes a year is not enough.
