  1. Celeb has been fairly entertaining. Not sure if it has done Keira any favours. Once Celeb has gone its back to the streaming services for us until MasterChef. The rest of the fta line ups have minimal appeal

      1. There are several reasons for movie length episodes of Home and Away nearly every week, including Thursday night AFL on five weeks from late May to late June (meaning H&A will be pre-empted in Melbourne and Adelaide in most cases), and Seven’s obligation to provide five episodes of the soap per week to British broadcaster Five for most of the year, so Seven has to ensure Australian broadcast is ahead of the UK.

  2. The ABC has been getting smashed in primetime pretty much every night since the ratings period started this year. News, current affairs, factual, entertainment and drama have all been down on previous years. There will be some worried bods at Aunty.

  3. I was watching gogglebox and saw the eighties episode on music, thought it looked good, stopped watching gogglebox and went to watch the eighties.
