Another slow Saturday night for all concerned. New series Death In Paradise (4th – 957,000) delivers well for ABC1, as does Gardening Australia (5th – 711,000), ABC News (2nd – 985,000) and The Body Farm (7th – 678,000). The Castrol Edge Wales Tour 2012 (19th – 288,000) Rugby Union game doesn’t even rate a blip on free-to-air and is nearly outdone by Fox Sports pulling 258,000 (making it number one on subscriptiong TV. The Graham Norton Show (12th – 384,000) continues to fail to find an audience on Saturday night.
