Another big night for ABC1, with ABC News (4th – 1,001,000), New Tricks (2nd – 1,145,000) and Whitechapel (8th – 637,000) all winning their timeslots. The Good News Week – The Final Farewell Tour (14th – 410,000) finale rated reasonably for a Saturday night, but nothing outstanding.

6:30pm: Gardening Australia/ABC News – ABC1
7:30pm: New Tricks – ABC1
8:30pm: Whitechapel – ABC1
