   For most of the 4-part serials I have watch so far, the air time has been   
   many more minutes than 24.  Tubi does insert commercials, which pushes them   
   over 30 minutes.   
      
   Nearly all "30-minute" British shows I watch have episodes much closer to   
   28 or 29 minutes, without commercials.   
      
   24 minutes sounds more like a US TV show that is meant for a 30-minute   
   slot, leaving time for commercials.
