  1. RFDS is premium quality drama. Can I just say how underrated Stephen Peacocke is. The man is the complete package. He is from humble Country roots, has been in four dramas over the last 12 years including Home and Away which actually made him a solidified talent, Wanted, Five Bedrooms and RFDS. If he ever takes a punt on Hollywood, he will deliver the goods.

  2. Surprisingly good result for RFDS. I have no doubt that rating would have been higher had it aired at 730 after Home and Away. Incredible result for soccer considering no Aussies in action.

    1. If RFDS is on at 7:30 you have to take off the 662,000 over the 90 minutes they lose by not showing The Voice, and the negative impact that would have on future episodes of the The Voice because it would lose momentum. Then you have to allow for the 500,000 who were watching The World Cup, The 600,000 who were watching The Block and the 400,000 who were watching 7:30/Kitchen Cabinet and couldn’t watch RFDS. Sure RFDS would probably get 200,000 viewers up against all that and pick up some streaming viewers, which would beat a 3rd repeat of an NCIS episode, but that is an epic fail, RFDS would never recover, end up moved to 11pm and get cancelled. How is that better? They got 378,000 with The Voice as a lead in which is very good and a success.

      1. I think 7:30 would have worked with a H&A soapie lead in, but then Thank God snared that spot (plus Hard Quiz). You do have to think about long term following not just timeslot wins, but Seven will be hoping catch-up and 7plus will boost there. I think it will get a good lift.

    2. Very true as I wasn’t watching any of the networks earlier offerings, was going to tune in at 9.15 fir RFDS but decided to PVR it to watch later rather than trying to remember to tune in at 9.15, was a great episode and looking forward to the rest of the season.
