  1. I like Shaun Micallef’s Brain Eisteddfod …not sure it is a good lead in for Gogglebox though….I wish they had left it on Wed….I now miss Ghosts as I dont watch The Mask…and Ghosts is awful to watch on 10play.

  3. Thought the new household were a good addition to Gogglebox. Strange that they didn’t mention Nick and Milo being in a new house or different space than normal. Used to be able to see through to the kitchen area. The tribute to Di was so nice that I chose to rewind it and watch that part again.

  6. Interesting that two popular AFL teams, Collingwood and Carlton, could only draw 118,000 viewers for 7. Channel 7 must be very disappointed.
    The last Thursday night AFL match, on 7 July, drew 437,000.
    I think this demonstrates the reason for the pay differential between AFL and AFLW players.

    1. Suggest the majority of the 118,000 were from Melbourne. Only a one off on main channel due to AFL bye. Garantee will be on Sevens multi channel next week with those numbers

      1. What will be interesting will be AFLW rounds 6 to 10. These games will be played when there is no AFL (men’s) games like last night. Will Channel 7 have AFLW on its main channel in Melbourne on Thurs/Fri or Sat night? I’m betting we’ll see Pretty Woman or Die Hard 3 instead

  7. Lazy programming delivers for Seven last night, a repeat of Crime Investigation I’d seen a few months ago. Surprised the numbers weren’t lower. They probably would’ve got higher numbers putting the Devil Wears Prada on for the 100th time.
    Thursday nights really are becoming a dead zone for TV.
