It has been going for 36 years!! So there's technically 36 seasons but it's because it is a soap, so it is on constantly 4 times a week

No seasons as it's continuous Drama with no production breaks, a part from that one time for COVID19.

I just group them by year but wouldn't for example call 1985 'Series 1' or 1986 'Series 2' and so on. Not sure how UKTV Play/Drama group them. We are on August 1997 at the moment and they are under 'Series 14' (makes no sense to me)?
