Mixed success for panel shows

TV has been flooded with new panel shows of late but Have You Been Paying Attention? remains the leader of its genre.

Last week it drew 715,000 metro viewers. Newcomer Question Everything debuted to 563,000. They were followed by The Front Bar (378,000), The Cheap Seats (331,000) and The Hundred with Andy Lee (326,000).

All of those are ahead of the 301,00 that HYBPA? drew in its under-the-radar 2013 debut, a reminder that with some finessing and faith, shows can always find their voice and audience.

Last week was another winner for Seven with more stellar numbers for The Voice in the reality field.
