  1. I will watch Zoo again, i will not make the mistake of watching live! Surely the adverts were longer than Zoo itself?
    I will be recording and watching the next day with my family.
    I am a Masterchef addict, watch on 20 min delay and never see an advert

  2. I should have known that when Ten said Zoo was starting at 8:30pm, they actually meant 8:50pm. That is not cool. I ended up falling asleep anyway, though. Book was awful, was hoping the TV show would be better.

    1. Yes, loved it.
      Especially enjoyed the rare footage of Bon and the boys in high spirits, running around the UK streets and the snippets of interviews with Bon that I haven’t seen before.
      Wild as he was he sounded like a really friendly, lovely guy.

      Hope to see more of these Aus music docos on the ABC in the future -they always do them so well….

      1. No problem. With my limited knowledge and the limited promotion it recieved those figures sound ok for a multi channel in an 11pm slot. With the progression of the show and word of mouth, let’s hope they increase for the boys. Very likeable and plenty of room for growth.
