Good Doctor helps Seven win the week, Nine tops demos.

Ratings: US drama becomes a surprise hit, with just 4 more weeks of survey.

The Good Doctor has proven to be a surprise hit in the final stages of the 2017 ratings year.

At 1.06m viewers, it was the first time a US drama hit hit #1 since Resurrection in 2014. Together with The Wall and Rugby League World Cup, Seven’s share was enough to claim another week.

But The Block topped the week, wrapping its most successful series in years, at a cool 2.46m viewers. Without The Bachelorette TEN slipped backwards, but Cram had a competitive launch in its timelots.

  1. An impressive win by Seven, during The Block finale week. 3rd time this year they’ve stolen Nine’s week when they’ve been expected to lose (other two times were two Origin weeks)! Although they did hold onto main channel (by the skin of their teeth). As Ten collapsed without a major multiple night show. Seven also topped the demographics most nights, but The Block’s (over 1m for 25-55s) was way too powerful, same for total people in Melbourne.
