  1. Talk around the water cooler at work is Cunk on Earth which I believe is being broadcast on the BBC in the U.K. The Tik Toks from the series are an absolute howl of laughter. Can a broadcaster in Australia pick this up and air it ASAP please? It’s should be destined for ratings glory.

  2. I really liked Kitchen Nightmares.
    Colin was toned down and easy to watch and listen to, he was similar to how he was on I’m a Celeb.
    Good work CH7 for creating something new and different to watch and you picked the right celebrity chef to host.

      1. I know you’re right but it’s still new and different for AUS. Unfortunately majority of our shows are ripped off or rehashed from OS. It’s a shame TV heads don’t take more creative risks, but still its better seeing and hearing our own local talent casted in these shows.

  3. Two key points to take from the ratings.
    1- Even though the total numbers for Kitchen Nightmares Australia didn’t set the television world on fire, it did well in the demographics.
    2- That steaming pile “game show” Hot Seat needs to be sent to the scrapheap. I was subjected to it because Sydneysiders can’t seem to change their channels to something decent. I cringed how the show is drawn out. It’s been on for too long and it would be a personal pleasure for see it being yanked once and for all.
    3- Congratulations on Sunrise on its staunch capacities thrashing Today in the ratings. I’d love to see NSW State Political Reporter Amelia Brace fill in where probable and have little to no Mark Riley and plenty more Taylor Aitken. Amelia and Taylor are exemplary in their aptitudes.

    1. 2. Agreed. The Chase is far better.
      3. I switch between the two because I like Karl and Ali but can’t stand Brooke or some of the panelists they get on to debate issues. Sunrise seems more fun and polished at the moment.

      1. To each his own poida, but without the devoted Sydney and Brisbane audience, and the mediocrity known as Married at First Sight and The Block, nine would be naught. Nine lost its chromosome when David Leckie was dismissed but demonstrated his reputation having made Seven relentless within three years of his secondment.

  4. Didn’t watch Kitchen Nightmares, but will be watching the uncensored version on 7+. So it will interesting to see the full numbers next week with the 7day catch up etc

  5. Enjoyed Lost for Words….such courage and tenacity….we who are literate take it for granted…..you do not think of the struggle when you cannot ….for others…
    Then watched Secret Scotland….I love that young woman…such a cheerful soul in a less than cheerful world.
