People were wondering on social media why the AFL has Thursday night games, I think has been answered!!
What I found disturbing watching taboo was the mistakes the surgeons made on these people.
You would be surprised to see some of the stuff that goes on in operating theatres!
Taboo was great. I think (and hope) it will get great accumulative numbers in the end, feels like that kind of show/audience
I enjoyed taboo. We could all learn a thing or to from these people with there outlook on life.
If you didn’t watch Taboo then I highly suggest you do yourself a favour and check it out. It’s the best show you’ll see all year. Perfect mix of happiness and sadness. Loved it.
For fans of Shetland, series 4 started on BCC First last night. That’s what we watched at 8.30 after Masterchef. A great night’s viewing.
Yes I recently posted info in Pay TV section. S5 actually.
Yes David, it was actually series 5. Confused because the program guide on the Fetch box calls it Season 4.
Those ratings for RBT, ER and Paramedics are awful.
In a few cities not 5.
Always a good morning to see one of my Crow boys on TV Tonight! 😀
I really enjoyed Taboo last night. Interesting, emotional and funny television. Well done 10 on this.
Best figures for Studio 10 in a while. Good to see. Noticed they have inserted extra infomercials near the beginning of the show lately so I’m wondering if they’re struggling to pay the bills.
2 before 9am. To get them out the way while sunrise and today still on air.
