Nine News (1.14m / 1.11m) was best for Nine then A Current Affair (1.01m), Hot Seat (646,000) and RBT (615,000). The Footy Show was 405,000 in 3 cities. Movie: Casino Royale was 195,000 in 2 cities.

MasterChef Australia (1.17m) was tops for TEN. The Project was 641,000 / 476,000, TEN Eyewitness News was 587,000, Madam Secretary was 566,000 and Elementary was 223,00 / 130,000.

  1. Channel 9 have got no ideas of programming outside of reality shows and sport. Their factuals like , Embarrassing Bodies, Life on the Dole, and Walking the Nile are pretty weak that fail everytime to attract any reasonable interest. RBT just seems like a cheap low budget copy of Highway Patrol that just drags on. Channel Nine reluctance to invest in any quality drama shows went out the door years ago and now viewers are left with boring and depressing factuals that barely rate anything.

  2. I watched Gattaca last night as I was in the mood for something contemplative and I hadn’t seen it for ages. Glad I did. I had forgotten how many well-known actors were in it.

      1. Some may want more drama, but some of us don’t, I’m sick of how much drama there is on the box.

        I want more Light Entertainment and Comedy!
        I want to watch something, and have a smile on my face, and have a laugh.
