After Home & Away (408,000) there was little interest in Seven’s line-up. A new then repeat ep of Border Security (327,000; 312,000) slid into fourth place, and the double ep finale of Without Sin (152,000; 110,000) drew in a small audience though last week’s eps did better business in the Total TV numbers (below).

Inspired Unemployed (Impractical) Jokers (291,000) and Five Bedrooms (109,000) add Australian content to the later night, before So Help Me Todd (51,000) and a repeat of FBI (34,000) closed out the evening.
