Last week attention turned to locally-produced scripted shows with new and returning titles.
Jack Irish was the top local drama of the week, leading ABC at 728,000 viewers. Home and Away (669,000), Doctor Doctor (665,000), All Aussie Adventures (635,000), True Story with Hamish & Andy (632,000) followed.
Newcomer Bite Club (510,000) was neck and neck with 800 Words (506,000). Street Smart (232,000), Dead Lucky (154,000) and Neighbours (133,000) were well behind. No doubt all will rise given it is the genre Timeshifting loves most.
Elsewhere The Bachelor is off to a good start for TEN.
Nine led in primary channel share but Seven scored yet another week thanks to multichannels. Unusually TEN trailed ABC in primary share but pipped them in network share, despite having one less channel.

Thanks David, if I remember I’ll try to see if the time shifting numbers affect the current overnight order in 28 days.
It’s a Shane the initial numbers are low, but I know TV viewing has changed compared to the 1990’s and 2000’s
Amazing that even with the Block there Seven are still winning.
And “dominating” Melbourne too, yet The Block’s best market by a country mile!
They need to solve Friday and Saturday – 7 won by over 10% each night, and although that’s nothing exceptional for this year, it gives them such a help if they’re behind.
