2013-10-29_1139SBS ONE will soon be bumping Prisoners of War  to a later timeslot due to disappointing numbers.

From Wednesday, 13 November Borgen will take its place at 9:30pm.

89,000 Children – Birgitte Nyborg has now been prime minister for almost two years – a respected politician, wise in the ways of the political gambit. She is visiting soldiers stationed in Afghanistan when their encampment comes under attack, claiming the lives of several soldiers. The time has come to choose – send the troops home or stage a counter attack. Katrine Fonsmark, now a reporter at Ekspres, approaches the father of one of the fallen soldiers in order to write a story. Kasper Juul divides his time between his job as the PM’s spin doctor and his new girlfriend who is a journalist. 

Prisoners of War moves to 11:10pm following World News Australia

  1. Very happy to hear there’s more Borgen, and don’t really mind if Prisoners Of War is moved to later.
    Since SBS introduced ads within programs we never watch SBS live, but only record those shows we want.
    Sometimes I even copy programs onto DVD so the ads can be editted out before we watch.
    Makes for much more pleasant viewing!

  2. It was rating around 50k. I saw one figure of 38k somewhere. Prisoners of War is one of the few shows I watch live.

    Anyway my Mother will be happy and stop bugging me about when SBS is going to show more Borgen.

  3. Terribly disappointed to hear this news.Prisoners of War is the best show on tv at the moment in my opinion,and deserves better treatment than this.I’m surprised that S.B.S would be so concerned about the ratings.

  4. That’s a shame, I have been enjoying this series much more than series 1 (and much more than the current series of Homeland).

    The TV guides in the papers have been giving it a big push, I guess the appetite for subtitled drama is low and I am sure some people are put off by the ‘Homeland is based on it’ tag which makes them think they’ll have seen it already (even though it’s really a lot different).

    What sort of numbers has it been getting?
