  1. Great to see Ten get a over a Million at this timeslot. I wonder when was the last time they did that……a long long long time ago I would suggest!!!

  2. Yeah David, I second what Jonno wrote. You’ve done plenty to let us know when Homeland was starting and it was listed on your calendar page, which I usually check but didn’t last night. Double-eps usually indicate a series rerun (or being burnt off) and it’s partly my fault for not checking more closely.

    No biggie, there are plenty of options for catching it and I wouldn’t be surprised if Ten repeat, sorry, encore it later in the week. However, 9:30pm is too late to start a two-hour broadcast for many people who have work/study the next day.
