Question Everything enters the world and Sean Lock leaves it. Now, I’m not saying there’s a connection or nuthin’….
Just couldn’t warm to QE. Might give it another go next week with some different guests and see.
Rosehaven as enjoyable as ever.
I think that’s the 1st win by 9 in about a month
I’ll give QE another crack next week, but it was seriously underwhelming.
David do you know how many episodes of RFDS there will be for series 1?
8.
Turned QE off after 10 minutes, very disappointing.
It will be interesting if ‘Question Everything’ maintains its ratings. I’m guessing there’s a bit of “Wil” power involved not to mention a stronger lead-in by the return of Hard Quiz.
While it’s better than ‘Win the Week’, it was still rather disappointing. Hopefully, Gruen will return at some stage in the future.
I’ll put QE in the category … I’ll watch it each week, but wont care at all if I miss it for some reason.
RFDS is also very good, but I’ll record that & watch it later so that I can skip the ads.
Yep I agree another great episode of RFDS last night very disappointing to see the ratings drop it would be good if they had put it at 7;30 like drama used to be hopefully it will do well overseas
it’s interesting that these higher recent numbers for Today aren’t coming at the expense of Sunrise and News Breakfast, which are ratings pretty much how they always rate. It seems newcomers to breakfast TV during lockdowns etc are going for Nine’s offering.
RFDS was great again last night. Wish the ratings were higher though but i don’t know.
Also enjoying RFDS, confused as to why they aren’t showing this at 7.30 though as hard to remember to switch at 8.37pm when it started last night as I was streaming while waiting for it to start. I can see this being successful overseas with the outback scenery.
Another great episode of RFDS. I’m just loving it.
