  1. So glad it looks like ABC have a hit with Bay of Fires. It’s the right time of the year for a show like this. Yet to watch the second episode but I’m looking forward to doing so.

    1. You would need to see next week’s totals to determine that-folks might have watched it for an initial ep but decided not to continue with it, as apparently the title should be ‘Bay of Tassie Cliches’.

  2. Ch 9’s coverage of the swimming champs is awful. They cut to ads at odd moments, we get the same ads every time.
    I don’t need to see Kaylee McKeown shave her legs every single ad break. Thorpey seems off his game and the guy doing the pool side interviewing needs a LOT more training, saying to the person he is interviewing “talk to me” is not how it’s done.

    Then I go to catchup on 9now on the races I missed this morning and they have who the winners are as the screen grab for each race.

    Amateur hour at is best.

    1. I don’t think Thorpey is off his best but the network commentator is very OTT. As for the poolside chats I find these redundant most of the time in swimming but Cate Campbell and Nathan Templeton definitely showed a different level to this guy but maybe he’s learning on the job. He seems to know his swimming information at least.

    2. It’s still a hit by Ten’s standards and dominating younger demographics. I find it boring, fine as one off special event but annual series doesn’t work for me.

  4. That’s an incredible lift for bay of fires in catch up viewing …shows that not dropping all episodes at once definitely is of benefit …. Although I still like binge viewing when all eps are loaded …. will start Bay of Fires sometime this week
