That Deep Water doco made me so angry. I had to watch an SNL to calm down aftewards.
As my review suggested, it was supposed to make you angry.
Kitchen week reveals will always rate well on The Block – ironic as it is the room with the least contribution by the contestants. Good advertisements for the kitchen companies.
I haven’t started watching Hyde and Seek yet. But do networks add up all the viewers in the week to give a figure of total audience? Plus time shifting? They must be rating alright cumulatively.
Yes networks know all that kind of data, plus catch-up video, and we know that drama pulls the biggest Timeshifted numbers. They look at all of these when measuring a show’s performance, as they should.
