Definitely don’t need MKR on Sunday night. Bad enough it dominates on week nights, just hope it doesn’t win the bloody Logie.
…No stevie g, Border at 6.30, MKR at 7.00, and Downton whenever MKR finishes :) lol
…And have DA start even later? A Big No to that suggestion.
I think it’s time Seven started screening MKR on Sunday nights as well, just to sort out the men from the boys.
