@Kimbeth – best parts are when they go of script, or the camera man runs into something!
Loved the Barry Gibb interview on Sunday Night.
Barry was very honest. Rani Sadler did a great job with the interview.
Great Southern Land was fantastic last night and well deserved the ratings. The F1 (and MotoGP) has not worked for TEN thank good the F1 at least will be moving back to ONE for the rest of the season… I hope!
@JB- mrs browns boys is so funny that’s why it rates.
Wow. Big night again for Sunday Night. The series is really good since it has come back from its break.
Good to see Mrs Browns Boys finish on a highnote. The series is doing really well. Also i am surprised Seven are putting Ahn Do on in a couple of weeks when Border and Airways are doing well. Are they out of episodes already?
@D@GP – Whenever some “celebrity” appears in a one-on-one interview, expect the tag to be a concert tour, a book, a movie, a CD, a DVD, etc. Can’t remember the last one when there wasn’t a “what’s in it for me?” thread.
Agree – let’s have a continuous interview without the clips-interruptions every 20 secs.
Cynical of me, I know – but a few months ago Sunday Night played an interview with Elton John and a tour of Australia was announced… the other week there was an interview with Cliff Richard and a tour of Australia was announced… and during last night’s “interview” with Barry Gibb I jokingly said to my wife that there surely wasn’t an Australian tour with the ‘last man standing’ about to be announced…how wrong I was.
By the way – we’d dearly love to see an interview broadcast that wasn’t edited and dressed for the MTV generation.
Bring back Parky (or someone who can do a one-on-one and keep it interesting).
Must say Mrs Brown’s Boys has been the surprise hit. Been on for a while, had a few timeslots and still rates over a million. Came from nowhere.
