In 2008-2009 there were less hours of drama series produced than 07-08, but more in local mini-series and children's. The state of the Aussie TV drama production still gets a big tick.
Renewed and emerging hits last week included Midsomer Murders, Money for Jam and a lift by the AFL. But Seven just scraped over the boundary line to win the week.
With a few notable exceptions, it seems we are still drawn to lighter fare including Packed to the Rafters, Spicks & Specks, Midsomer Murders, 2.5 Men and a Harry Potter flick.
