We've had exactly the same experience. Up north, there is one cheque per table and that is the inflexible "rule". I was delighted at the TV "norm" of separate cheques. It means people can be as extravagant as they choose to be with appetizers and wine and lobster and desserts. Or they can be frugal or on a diet with a simple salad and water and leave it at that. No one cares. No one keeps track.
Individual cheques are such a pleasure. The restaurants in TV are to be applauded for making things easy.
