  1. Solid figures for 7, they combined 9 and 10’s primary and almost the combined figures too.

    MKR is just WWE dressed up as a cooking show, heroes and villians, the similarities are startling… just watch it under that umbrella and it all makes sense

  4. Enjoyed Molly :The Real Thing probably even more than the Molly miniseries of the last two weeks.
    Loved all the old footage… in particular Lindsay Fox and his wife were highly entertaining.
    Would have thought though that out of all the people featured, someone would have been able to explain how Molly got his nickname.
    What happened to Molly’s dad ? Seems he went away to war and returned but nothing more is ever mentioned of him.

      1. Thanks David – must have missed that bit.
        Looking it up, he apparently bestowed the nickname on Ian during his early Go-Set days …
        “Ian made so many friends around the scene so quickly that 3UZ DJ Stan Rofe named him “Molly”, as a riff on “band moll”…

  5. Has anyone noticed more retro shows on One? Hogans Heroes, Walker Texas Ranger, Jake n Fat man, Diagnosis Murder soon Nash Bridges and Matlock. I feel a retro station would be a good idea as long as it stays as one ie no encore of reality shows.

  6. I’m seriously getting over the editing hatchet job Ch7 are doing on MKR this year. Whilst they made Jess out to be the villain her and Marcos always scored more than fairly even dishing out 9’s.
    Those teams last night scored unfairly, the real villians last night were the team that were coming last by scoring them only a 1, that to me would indicate all three courses were inedible, which wasn’t the case.
    Ch7 seem to think just because they are pure bogans that Australia will love them, no they are just not nice people but have been edited to come across that way….

  9. The Molly doco….while interesting…..was a bit long…..could have been 1 hour. Many comments from interviewees revealed nothing. But a very good programming move by seven to have it the week after the mini series.

  10. With another ‘villain’ gone, unless they can con someone else to take up that role it will start to decrease, after all its never been a cooking show as much as a b!@#ing show. As for AGT surely they realise now people are just plain over the same thing year in year out, IACGMOOH is good for a mindless laugh in our house with the kids but after 3 weeks of the same rinse & repeat episodes we are starting to drift, so glad Vikings is back this week, finally something to look forward to

    1. X-Files has been so refreshing to watch & the episodes have been great & varied, I especially like the set up last night for potential future spin off series with the new agents
