  1. @tomothyd: What on earth makes you think that? They kept Terra Nova and Hawaii Five-0 there (Sunday 8:30) for months and months last year, even when both slipped under 600k.

    Not to mention Homeland is Ten’s highest-rated drama outside of NCIS, most of their other US dramas are failing to reach 400k these days

  2. Homeland numbers are where they should be and hopefully stay that way for the 5 weeks remaining.

    YTT improved and will probably settle there or mid 650’s from now on. Glee is the only other alternative they would place at 6.30 if YTT tanks.

    Interesting once the cricket finishes to see how the distribution of viewers goes.

    Also, to those, and I think David was one, who thought Midsomer Murders was more suited to a Friday or Saturday night slot, those numbers are amazing and I am not sure The Straits would get anywhere near them.

  3. Homeland will probably move to another day/time if it slips under 800K.
    Young Talent Time will probably roll out the guest starts soon to attract more ratings.
