It was all tennis again, though not as popular when there’s no Australians invovled. Parochial, aren’t we? Highest rating non-new/non-sport program was Home and Away (6th – 1,037,000), seeing away with The Biggest Loser (12th – 825,000). Not awesome results for a show Ch10 are hanging their 7pm hopes on in competition with the upcoming Excess Baggage. The “encore” episodes of Young Talent Time (19th – 541,000), New Girl (18th – 553,000) & Homeland (27th – 380,000) did OK – at least providing little rays of sunshine for a nervous Ch10, though they were never going to rate amazingly being recent repeats. The Project (21st – 469,000) did OK, though they’ll be hoping it starts to get above 500,000 a night very soon. Neighbours still not cracking 300,000 yet.
