  1. David,
    Not really related to yesterdays ratings but has 10 said when they plan to screen the remaining eps of the Masked Singer USA? Would like to watch the rest of it.

    1. According to the TV guide, it’s moving to 8.30pm Wednesdays from next week. To fast-track the show, they would have to play it on a Thursday night, but Thursdays are a little busy at the moment with The Bachelorette and Gogglebox.

      10 played two episodes last week to catch-up with the US as it’s a once-a-week show over there, and we were a week behind.

      1. Thanks for that Zoodle, I had read they were going to move it to Saturday nights, glad they didn’t otherwise it’d be a 10Play show for me. Also glad that we are up to date with the US, avoids any potential spoilers online.

  2. One good thing about not having Daylight Savings in Qld is that we get the ratings wrap at 9am 😊
    I’ve found the Hilary doco series on SBS to be very insightful.
