  2. To be honest, You’re Back In The Room is rating what it should now the novelty has worn off. God help us if an Australian audience could sustain more than a few eps.

  3. David, can you advise whether 7 broadcasted the “cut down” version of The Chase in all markets, given those numbers? In SA it was affected by the AFL and they showed a 30 minute version.
    Still can’t stand AOK though…
