Three way drama battle

Two finales & 1 premiere will all face off on Wednesday night.

TV has another three-way local drama battle on its hands tomorrow when Doctor Doctor, The Wrong Girl and Sunshine all battle it out in the same timeslot.

Counting ABC comedy Get Krack!n, it’s a four-way battle in scripted content.

Sunshine will premiere on SBS at 8:30pm, up against The Wrong Girl in a double season finale on TEN.

Nine’s Doctor Doctor also has its season finale ten minutes later at 8:40pm. Based on current ratings (and that significant lead-in) it will win the drama battle.

The question for The Wrong Girl is whether it will manage a renewal based on under-performing figures. TEN has bigger hopes for new drama Sisters which debuts next week -with a whopping 2 hour premiere.

Unusually the new drama has been filmed as 6 x 72 minutes.

Corrected.

  1. I watched The Wrong Girl for the first time in a long while last night and it’s very hard to see how Ten can justify a third season. Great cast let down by poor writing and still coming off as a pale Offspring imitation (I’ve got to admit, even Sisters is giving me that feeling, even if it does have some Offspring folk behind it).

    Ratings not good, either. I have a feeling the show’s producers knew it could be the end – that finale tied things up nicely.

  2. I’ve stuck with it, as it’s a fairly short season, but this season of The Wrong Girl has been pretty dire. Th early part of the season leading up to (spoiler alert) Jack ditching Lily just went nowhere and didn’t really appear have much in the way of storyline.
    Even the Craig McLachlan character who was used sparingly as comic relief in series one was milked for all it was worth this year and just ended up being irritating.
