Bride & Prejudice didn’t make it to air in Perth till 9.11pm due to Telethon overrun.
I’m not enjoying this season of the block now only watch the Sunday episodes this season is boring with over forced drama created by the producers
Who can remember when Sunday nights where a battleground for ratings dominance. I think Network Ten started the charge, dumping movies and putting Law and Order on at 8.30pm.
I agree with the comment above, what a waste many nights have become on these days, it also seems networks have given up on after 9pm as well, they aren’t even trying to regain audiences lost to streaming.
Yep TEN started it first they had NCIS then Law and Order: Criminal Intent took it’s place.
NCIS is my memory, 10 was definitely first to dump Sunday movies.
Yep and people have to remember it was much easier to program back 10-15 years ago when the viewing public weren’t so concerned about fast-tracking. Then the channels could hold shows back to a February start and something like NCIS or L&O could be shown pretty much for 24 weeks straight (taking out Easter). Now with people wanting it now it’s much more difficult to do with the USA’s erratic TV schedule where 24 eps of say NCIS take 8 months to show (34 weeks = This Season Sept 25 2018 – May 21 2019).
We found it fascinating regarding the ww2 history as we never knew about it even though we live in cairns.
When I checked the episode info on the programme via foxtel it was episode 6 of 6.Looking forward to the others though.
Good numbers for the trains on SBS-would have helped that it was featuring a local line.
What a wasteland Sunday viewing was, just streaming for me.
