The Trophy Room steady for ABC1, but still down significantly on its lead in QI. That said, the episode was far more relaxed from Helliar & co-hosts and guests. Here’s to it improving even more in weeks to come. Raising Hope continues to be a high point for the Wednesday 7:30pm slot, along with Modern Family repeats. The 7pm Project down a little on a growing trend over the Christmas period, however it is managing to re-establish itself (slowly).

As a side note, congrats to the BNE Ch9 team in winning over all for Wednesday AND for it’s News topping the list. Here’s to many more.
