@ JB & mason
Regarding A Place To Call Home I did watch the first episode when it was repeated because of the supposed 8.44pm start time on the first Sunday. I guess that’s why dramas aren’t getting the bigger numbers. Although I’m glad they were honest the first week with the EPG at least. Because it tells some viewers to not to bother to watch.
as 9 did so well why are the moving House Husbands to sunday against A Place to Call Home
Because Live shows will end at 9:30.
How did the AFR go against that cartoon that beat it last week?
@William -You are correct about the F1 but i dont think that gives TEN an excuse not to show new episodes. They should fix up the schedule…. or something even better (that will never happen until someone grows a brain at TEN) put the F1 back on ONE
Wasn’t a great episode of A Place to Call Home. The writing and direction were nowhere near as good as in the first two episodes.
I think 7 would be pretty happy with their numbers considering they didn’t really have anything big on.
David, any reason why 7 didn’t bump up House Rules to start when Celebrity Splash did (i.e. day after MKR final?) They’re going to suffer having the Block beat them out of the starting gates – people won’t watch both (especially when they’re on at partially the same time).
They didn’t want it up against blind auditions. Splash was in there for a few weeks to diminish auditions but it may have cost them momentum.
@Bella
It’s due to the F1 as it is in Europe
JB, I’m with you 100% but I would have used a different word to stuffed!
The Block was great last night !! I love the new format !! The Team from VIC are my favourite !!
Surely people are tiring of the Block?
I thought The Block would do better than that. I thought 1.5 at least.
I don’t know what’s wrong with TEN. But they know only seem to show a new episode of Graham Norton every second week. It makes it really confusing as my EPG doesn’t list it as a repeat and you don’t figure it out until you watch the ep.
10 would be happy with the biggest loser. That show is a true tent pole. Not surprised the Block did well, very a solid show!
A Place To Call Home is good, great cast, acting etc, but not nearly as intriguing or suspenseful as it could be nor made out to be. And i’m not gonna watch it anymore. 8.45 start, get stuffed Seven.
