There was plenty of drama on air last week -literally- with no less than 7 Free to Air dramas on screen (8 if we count Pay TV) and two noisy Reality TV finales.
TEN had a rare Thursday win thanks to The Bachelor finale, while Nine’s Married at First Sight clinched Tuesday.
In the Drama stakes, Offspring was the best in show followed by Doctor Doctor, Home and Away, 800 Words, Winners and Losers, The Code and Neighbours.
Nine led the week all the way until Seven’s AFL came along and caused a last minute upset. It still ranked first in primary channel shares and demos.
But Seven won the week in Total People once more.

No mention of the Paralympics, guess I wouldn’t call them a failure for Seven but they didn’t do much.
Still say if Ten had a crime & investigation channel it would rate well. They have the CBS stock to do it. They could include their old Ten shows like Rush, Matlock Police & Carsons Law via WIN, etc.
WIN owns the Crawfords library, albeit now an affiliate.
Hence why l said it. May help them sell their DVDs as well.
I watched Doctor, Doctor last night….and I really liked it….
