Why does it take so long for Doctor Who episode reviews to be updated?

For the latest season, for example, the episodes are available from 8am UK time, prior to linear broadcast by about 10-11 hours. So, the time when everyone's looking for reviews on IMDB will be during that Saturday, prior to broadcast. However, we're now on Sunday, and STILL no episodes for ep.2 Lux have been approved. Can you please improve this for the rest of the series? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt32800925/externalreviews

Hi IAmSpartacus9999- Thank you for the feedback! Depending on several factors, the submissions may take more time to be processed. However, you can keep a look at our Data Processing Times page: https://contribute.imdb.com/times?ref_=helpms_ch_ci_processing to follow up on any further backlog of data and any current data processing as well. Cheers!

I see that, but in the case of something like a Doctor Who episode, it's very much a timely thing. People are searching for reviews up to and while the episode is on. You're missing out on a lot of hits (as are everyone who posts a review) by not prioritising something timely like this.

Again, I wasn't talking about how long submissions take, but this: "for the team to update you on CHANGES to the processing of timeous entries like this show", i.e. in prioritising them.
