Home and Away was bang on last week’s average audience last night as the numbers slipped from Monday’s 743,000 to just under 700,000.
Contestants Brent and Leroy hosted their Instant Hotel competitors last night in their Queensland home as the audience crept above 700,000 with the biggest audience yet for the new reality series. The series performed well in the demos too ranking #2 for the night 25-54.
The Good Doctor is not only making US dramas better, it is helping fix late night TV where audiences had been on a not-so-slow decline. The series has been over 1m for all but one of its five episodes so far and the one that didn’t was very close. The drama is also continuing to post record 7-day consolidated numbers with an extra 264,000 watching last Tuesday’s episode in the seven days since broadcast. The audience last night and 1.13m was the second biggest audience.
Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders then did 310,000.
Nine
Take That and Dannii Minogue got a shout out from A Current Affair last night as the artists tour Australia together. The episode started though with neighbour from hell Lester who confronted ACA reporter Chris Allen this week. The Tuesday episode did 764,000.
Family Food Fight did 586,000, which is slightly higher than the average last week.
The Big Bang Theory remains locked just over half a million despite much bigger numbers watching just last month.
