      1. A decent result for an oft repeated film-it is entertaining though…the central reason for the erstwhile villain’s plan is not addressed by the good guys unlike ‘Utopia’ UK.

      1. That explains why Colbert started much earlier than the listed start last night on 10/13-usually begins a few minutes later-was annoyed to miss the first 10 mins or so.

  6. What a sad, sad society we have become that absolute rubbish like this wins the ratings. Australian TV audiences need to have a long hard look at themselves in the mirror.

    3. Couldn’t possibly agree more!! Hate that a lovely cooking show like MKR has been forced to deteriorate to these same lows just to compete with this turd. What’s worse is this crap will be back next year without doubt unfortunately ?
