THE HANDMAID’S TALE continues to do massive business on BVOD and catch-up for SBS (412% this week!).
A Current Affair (570,000) down to its lowest for the week on Nine yet still a timeslot winner. Similarly The Block (670,000). Paramedics (379,000) gives Gogglebox Australia a nudge, as A+E After Dark (211,000) and New Amsterdam (61,000) push through the late night.
Nine first in both primary (23%) and network (30.1%) rankings.
Home & Away (428,000 7pm; 413,000 7:30pm-8:30pm Late) is a respectable though not night-winning start for Seven, and it was never going to get better with a quad repeat of Kath & Kim (190,000; 147,000; 140,000; 120,000). After that the late night had the questionable Autopsy USA (65,000).
Seven second in both primary (17.4%) and network (26.9%) rankings.
Again, The Project (180,000 6:30pm; 288,000 7pm) slides for 10, however it’s the diabolical figures for The Real Love Boat Australia (174,000 5CM; 55,000 RegTAM (229,000 National)) that should have them concerned, especially as they announced a second season for 2023. Gogglebox Australia (415,000) does its best to lift everything however one show cannot carry 10’s night. The preview tease of Paramount+ series Undressed with Kathryn Eisman (165,000) kept less than half the lead-in audience, and a repeat of The Cheap Seats (58,000) just filled out the schedule.
10 third in both primary (11.1%) and network (17.3%) rankings.
7:30 (464,000) and Foreign Correspondent (349,000) lead the charge for the ABC, landing third in primetime. Q+A (232,000) sees the highest figures its had in some time. Kurt Fearnley’s One Plus One (121,000) kicks off the late night, followed by repeats of Walking Man (69,000) and Keep On Dancing (DNR).
ABC fourth in both primary (11%) and network (16.7%) rankings.
The foodie pairing of Dishing It Up (78,000) and Guillaume’s Paris (86,000) lead SBS’s night, followed by World’s Most Scenic River Journeys (99,000) and another blistering ep of The Handmaid’s Tale (71,000).
SBS fifth in both primary (3.8%) and network (9.1%) rankings.
