  1. Parade’s End was never going to work on Nine, we all knew it, probably even Nine knew it. Now, as I suspected from the moment they announced it, it will be shunted off to late nights, or to Gem, or they might even try to sell it to the ABC again (and for significantly less than they tried to before, I’d imagine).

    And when will they learn that double (and in some cases triple) episodes just don’t work? Calling them ‘Feature-length episodes’ or ‘Movie-length events’ fools no-one and puts off many casual viewers who don’t want to invest that amount of time (or space on their PVR) in any one evening.

  2. Should never have gone to Nine, I think they thought they had another Downton, which any idiot could tell they didnt in the first 5 min utes

  3. cnrmlj, my issue is i haven’t seen a single promo for last resort that advertised it as a mini series. and i’ve seen plenty of promos for it.

  4. God bring on the biggest loser!! Ten need it to pull good numbers or they are really stuffed. I think it will pull good figures and it should be a good season by the looks of it.
