  1. Not great numbers for the second night back for home and away …when the rivers boys was in the show it was rating 1 million viewers a night and now look not good ….

  2. Was looking forward to the return of Ambulance last night, was quite disappointed and frustrated at the re-run coming on, the printed guide from last week’s paper clearly listed it as a return and new episode.

    Simply no respect for the few viewers trying to avoid the juggernauts, glad the got the ratings they deserved.

    Noticed they are just flogging Sunday Night Takeaway in every ad break and nothing else, almost as if they given up trying to compete other than on Sundays & Mondays (& 8:40pm Thursdays with Gogglebox). So much for 50 weeks of entertainment.

    1. I hope by throwing in a repeat of Ambulance won’t ruin ratings for the new episode next week, with people assuming it’s yet another repeat.
      The commercials for Sunday Night Takeaway just show how terribly lame this is going to be, and the fact that Julia Morris is hosting means I won’t even bother giving it a chance. Her face pulling and mispronunciation of words is pretty much her only comedy, and it’s stale.

  3. Reading the ratings I felt sorry for 10, until I realised Ambulance Australia was a repeat. Program repeats in the first weeks of ratings and you’ll get the ratings you deserve.

  4. I’m a big fan of Ten and believe they have many great shows but they got what they deserved last night airing an episode of Ambulance that had been seen multiple times before in one of the most prime slots of the week I mean seriously? If Ten wants Hughesy to build a following I think they need to move it to Mondays after DWTS or even Sundays after Takeaway (depending on how that fares in the ratings)
    Also why have a new Graham Norton on Friday and a repeat on Monday? Should be the other way around.
