There is no stopping The Good Doctor right now with yet another night at #1.

The US drama drew 1.01m viewers last night, with almost all evening slots going Seven’s way.

Instant Hotel won its slot at 687,000 viewers ahead of RBT and 7:30. That left Cram at 363,000 down on last week’s 558,000 to battle it out with Great British Railway Journeys on 358,000. That said, Insert Name Here and Food Safari Earth were lower still.

The Good Doctor was out in front of Gogglebox on 588,000 and Piers Morgan on Nine. The Ex-PM struggled on Thursday at 302,000, denied the Wednesday comedy line-up.

  2. “The Ex-PM struggled on Thursday at 302,000, denied the Wednesday comedy line-up.”

    I’m trying to like the Ex-PM, but it’s just not funny. That forced ‘look-at-me-aren’t-I-funny’ shtick works on a show like Mad As Hell, but just draws attention to itself in a sitcom.

  5. Wow finally there is a US tv show drama that can attract an audience on a commercial channel. It is a bit of a rarity these days, so ch7 really do need to exploit it. Funnily it was featured on gogglebox

    1. You are right about Seven exploiting the US drama when it is rating well. A good strategic decision but did it come at the expense of Secret Daughter (or maybe not)?I think Seven needs every point to claw back their YTD main channel ratings share.

  6. I was on SBS most of the night….I did flip over for The Good Doctor….I was glad it was a bit late…replying to someone on Facebook…got distracted…

  7. Over 1m for The Good Doctor on a Thursday and starting at 8:48pm is fantastic, Aussies have fallen in love with this show and whether we like it or not, Seven exploiting it is paying off.
