Even though it was ANOTHER massive 8:30pm timeslot, all the big business was at 7:30pm and before this week. Sunday Night (1st – 1,377,000) and 60 Mintues (2nd – 1,237,000) continue their tussle for our long-form current affairs eyes. The return of Border Security (5th – 1,052,000) and Air Ways (4th – 1,066,000) help Ch7 to a massive night, though David Attenborough: Kingdom Of Plants (7th – 972,000) delivers strongly again.

Jack Irish: Black Tide (13th – 851,000) & House Husbands (8th – 944,000) lead the 8:30pm slot again, with Homeland (15th – 712,000) performing marginally better this week. While Modern Family (11th – 908,000) hits the right note with the audience The New Normal (19th – 552,000) certainly does not.
