  1. Seven tops the ratings again only because of MKR. It’s all seven has going for it at the moment. Personally, I don’t like the show, and the Block for that matter. Must be a lot of people who plonk themselves down in front of the telly with their minds in neutral.

    1. Shh, don’t tell Russell Howcroft. He thinks Ten are coming third. Ten have no hope of improving while they roadblock primetime shows across their multichannels and p!ss off regular viewers by bumping shows on One and Eleven at short/no notice.

      Last year they were the best of the commercial FTA networks for sticking to their schedule and starting programs on or near their advertised times. Now they’re the worst. I thought Ten might have started on the road to recovery in toward the end of last year but they have undone all that good work and destroyed any good will that they had built up with stupid programming decisions (again).
