Gogglebox last night drew its best numbers since launching on TEN in 2015, with 824,000 viewing. That’s in addition to topping Pay TV on Wednesday night.
But a rare Thursday edition of The Block (due to NRL final on Sunday) was the night’s top show at 1.17m viewers. That denied The Bachelorette timeslot win, settling for 793,000. All three shows hogged the Demos while TEN’s primary channel edged ahead of Seven.
Nine News, ACA and The Chase won their slots.
A late Socceroos match drew 186,000 in 4 cities plus 20,000 on 9GO! in Perth.
Nine network won Thursday with 28.5% then Seven 27.1%, TEN 23.9%, ABC 13.4% and SBS 7.1%.
The Block was #1 for Nine with 1.17m then Nine News (924,000 / 882,000), A Current Affair (775,000) and Hot Seat (440,000 / 270,000). Movie: Meet the Parents was 163,000 in 3 cities.
Seven News (897,000 / 880,000) was best for Seven then Home and Away (583,000), The Chase (533,000 / 353,000), Mrs. Brown’s Boys (475,000 / 471,000) and World’s Deadliest Weather: Caught on Camera (245,000).
Gogglebox (824,000) topped TEN’s night followed by The Bachelorette (793,000), The Project (499,000 / 284,000), TEN Eyewitness News (412,000), Law & Order: SVU (381,000) and Family Feud (276,000).
ABC News (708,000), 7:30 (552,000), Short Cuts to Glory: Matt Okine vs Food (313,000), Glitch (221,000), and Grand Designs (163,000). The Murder Detectives was just 113,000.
On SBS it was Great British Railway Journeys (294,000), Gourmet Farmer (258,000), River Cottage Australia (250,000), Bosch and SBS World News (both 115,000).
Shaun the Sheep drew a daggy 207,000 on multichannels.

Best line on Gogglebox was the one about the ‘Bomb Squad’. Still laughing out loud.
Good night for Ten although once again new SVU had little to no promotion, I think I saw 1 promo the day before it was back on!
I agree I remember when SVU was one of tens hottest shows than they started screwing with time slots, at one stage it was on at 10:30pm
I would not want to be a TV programmer. You have to take risks, but you never know when you’ll get a Gogglebox or a Cannonball!
Ten did not stream Gogglebox live on Tenplay. Not sure why though…
They never do, I believe Foxtel has that.
I have watched it live via Tenplay over a year ago. This is the first time they haven’t provided it live (but it was available on catch up later last night though)
I love the way Gogglebox is edited so it appears uncensored – they absolutely bagged Cannonball, and it was hilarious to see Angie rating the footballers on whether she’d do them as the national anthem was played and the camera went from player to player!
Who hasn’t played that game hahaha? Very surprised they didn’t weigh in on Macklemore song.
I was also surprised, but I have noticed that whenever they watch something LGBTI related they never show the snobby old couple lol
They did show the old couple’s comments during the gay date on first dates.
Can you imagine what the reaction would be like if it was the two young fellows rating the girls of AFLW or NRLW, (well they are probably bad examples), Miss world or something and if they would do them or not…. The double standards in this country are laughable…
So… imagine a situation, imagine how it goes, then claim it’s a sign of “double standards”?
I know it’s said that having a “healthy fantasy life” is necessary for being happy, but in this case it seems to be having the opposite effect…
(p.s. did you miss the two new guys ogling & commenting on the women in a couple of shows they watched?)
I’d like to know if the pay packets of the Gogglebox talent have increased since 2015
That kind of info is personal, whether on Gogglebox or reading the 6pm news. Most articles I have read surrounding the latter are usually based on guesses. As for Gogglebox, I think we can safely say they are hardly the best paid on telly and were probably signed to 3 yr contracts from the start (or similar). A few have mentioned first overseas holidays in years….
That is their business. It was just out of curiosity
which is a doubled ended sword, they travel and they love it so much they end up leaving the show, I did recently speak to the mum from the hippie family they used to have as to why they left the show.
Normally A big fan of Gogglebox. But 14 minutes spent on The Bachelorette was a little excessive. Otherwise a good episode.
It was intriguing to watch the EPG change before our eyes, MASH to Hogan’s Heroes on Wednesday and MASH to Happy Days on Thursday. What will it be tonight?
Watched Gogglebox for the first time in ages… and loved it. I laughed out loud a number of times. Well put together and fast paced. Who’d of thunk a TV show about people watching TV would work.
Also must note, this is the first week we’ve ever watched The Block outside of the regular Sunday night reveals [where we record and skip all the crap/drama during the first hour]. Garden week has been great – although more an insight into human nature than landscaping!
Most important question of the week,
What happened to MASH, why did one/10 dump it?
They’ve done it a bit on Eleven, switched Malcolm to Raymond and back again. Schedule Futurama, then change to Raymond, but air Comedy Montreal 2016.
And I’ve just noticed they’ve pulled Malcolm again for Raymond, and all the animation domination is gone on Wednesdays, replaced Penguins of Madagascar with Raymond too on Saturday. Ten must have some rights on hold to some shows or something right now.
Interestingly Malcolm In The Middle, M*A*S*H and Futurama are all 20th Century Fox/Television distributed shows. While Everybody Loves Raymond and Hogan’s Heroes are CBS Television distributed shows, with the Montreal Comedy Festival shows air on CBS in the US.
Of course The Simpsons and Bob’s Burgers are also Fox so you know Tin Foil Hat and all that for me 😉

Not pulling the wool over our eyes are you David?
Ewe must be joking- that was a baa-d pun.
I watched my recording of Gogglebox last night, great and well deserved comments about Cannonball. The new people fitted in well too, glad to see this show back, but I assume it’ll be another short 8 week stint as ratings reason draws to a close around then.
David, Do you have any rating figures for Survivor US last night? It was on 9’s Go Channel. Many thanks.
How did Ten’s main channel not beat Nine’s?
Look at Channel 10’s ratings from 7:30pm to late night including SUV.
Must’ve been early evening that let them down.
Meet The Parents didn’t rate well.
As the top 4 or 5 ‘shows’ are always 7 & 9 News, however “TEN’s primary channel edged ahead of Seven”.
Easy to see why. Nine’s main channel rated well above Ten from 6 to 9 pm giving them an easy win. Nine has now won 5 nights in a row, Thursday’s being the lowest margin. Sunday through to Wednesday have been massive wins.
“The Demos”, which is what TEN and WIN base their sales pitches on, are News and The Block. Everything else was TEN, TEN, and TEN. 6pm is TEN’s switch-off as their audience moves to 7 & 9 for today’s supermarket survey and live reports from someone somewhere in front of something back there that happened yesterday or the day before, adding nothing to what we’ve already been told.
Family Feud against News
That’s the problem.
