Plate of Origin slips lower for Seven

Ratings: While Seven's cooking show struggled, ABC's history version won its slot.

It was a tale of two foodie shows last night.

Team Australia was eliminated out of Seven’s new cooking show last night as the show slipped lower while ABC’s history series claimed a win.

The Block 753,000 won its slot and led the demos ahead of Anh’s Brush with Fame (611,000), 7:30 / The Masked Singer: Unmasked (both 592,000), Plate of Origin (382,000) and Great Asian Railway Journeys (248,000).

Later Further Back in Time for Dinner won its slot at 535,000 then Halifax: Retribution (505,000) and Ambulance Australia (382,000).

Nine network won Tuesday 29.6% then Seven 25.1%, 10 18.6%, ABC 17.4% and SBS 9.3%.

Nine News (1.01m / 996,000) was best for Nine. A Current Affair won its slot at 734,000 then Hot Seat (546,000 / 350,000) followed. Bluff City Law drew 196,000.

Seven News was #1 with 1.11m / 1.03m for Seven.  Home & Away (570,000) and The Chase (565,000 / 357,000). Movie: Taken was 205,000.

The Project drew 519,000 / 301,000 for 10. 10 News First was 375,000 / 237,000.

ABC News drew 724,000. The Great Acceleration was 241,000 and The Drum was 202,000.

On SBS it was SBS World News (169,000), Insight (140,000), Dateline (108,000) and Mastermind (70,000). The Feed was just 45,000.

NCIS led multichannels at 183,00 -although there appears to be a coding error which has merged it with a repeat on 10.

Sunrise: 254,000
Today: 220,000
News Breakfast: 144,000 / 58,000

  1. So glad I am not the only one enjoying Further Back in time for Dinner, love the show and the Ferrones! I don’t know how it would work but I hope there’s another series, don’t want this one to end!

    1. Kudos to Seven though in trying to throw a lot of mud on the schedule and hoping it sticks.

      I watched some of Plate last night and it was a bit of every show before it; MKR, MC, FFF, Great Australian Bake Off. And unlikeable contestants.

      1. It’s a shame as it could have potentially had legs, but looking at the production credits, its the same old people in production that are behind MKR, House rules, etc. If they really wanted a fresh show, they should have gotten some new talent in who could have brought an original approach. Should have saved the cash and tried to bring back Ready Steady Cook. At least that’s entertaining and easier to produce

  2. “NCIS led multichannels at 183,00 -although there appears to be a coding error which has merged it with a repeat on 10”. Seems even 10 can’t keep track of what’s what, given the number of episodes played and repeated in the same week.

  3. In looking at the multichannel ratings with Neighbours only getting 107k viewers, how much longer can it continue?
    You would imagine it only has a few more months before it goes under 6 figures…

    Would 10 hit their quotas if they axed it? You can’t be too mad at them for killing it, they have run 2 first-run-Australian-productions against each other for years…

    1. I’m pretty sure Neighbours rates under 100K on some nights (particularly Thursdays/Fridays) as it occasionally fails to break the overnight multichannel top 20. It would have been axed well over a decade ago were it not for strong overseas sales, particularly due to the fanbase in the UK. It also serves 10’s interests as it fulfills much of their local drama quota obligations. The status of the series does beg the question of its profitability though, but producers typically keep mum on such matters.

    2. Put the ratings in perspective – ratings look to be lower across the board. In Australia, this year Neighbours has achieved best ratings in the mid to high 100k. At the same time Home and Away was getting best numbers in the high 600k into 700k. Compare this to today – Neighbours 107k, and Home and Away 570k. In the UK, Neighbours has continued strong ratings on channel 5, with up to 1M viewers per episode. Interesting that Home and Away on the same channel gets about half of that.

    3. 107K is nothing unusual these days. It’s been like that for a long time. Doubt it’s hit 200k for years. But like the others said the ratings it gets on a multichannel here don’t dictate its fate.
