We’re almost at the end of the second ratings period for the year: welcome to Week 25. Downton Abbey continues to rate it’s pants off, as does Australia’s Got Talent. There’s lots of new stuff starting up (hello Lawrence Leung’s Unbelievable) and stuff we’re not gonna miss (Between The Lines) falling by the wayside… but plans are afoot within the networks for a whole range of shows to play out the second half of the year.
What are you looking forward to? I’ve got my list, soon to be published, but I’d love to know what you think.
