As expected, the funeral aftermath episode of Packed to the Raftersperformed strongly. With the season finale next week, it’s likely to repeat this performance for Channel 7. Channel 9’s debacular The National IQ Test came in 9th, capturing an audience who – surprisingly – needed to know their IQ. Talkin’ ‘Bout Your Generation strong again for Channel 10, but let down with it’s run in from The 7pm Project, starting to languish & needing some resuscitation. That Ch7 have been promoting this week’s ep of Iron Chef Australia as the one where the Iron Chef loses, it’s no wonder it didn’t draw the audience they’d have hoped for although what it did get is respectable. Parenthood managed to dump over half the audience that lead into it – but this timeslot is the wrong one to see this import succeed. A strong win for Ch7 again last night, bouyed by the numbers from Rafters.
