It is deliberate. It is done to try and 'bridge' (i believe is the industry 
term) viewers from one show to the next. Ie you run the popular show 10min 
over, at which time you have missed the start of competing shows on other 
channels so viewers tend to just keep watching the follow-on show. Some 
Australian networks are much more aggressive in the practice than others.
