At least the ratings break means quality shows like the season finale of Shaun Micallef’s Mad As Hell (8th – 760,000) and Puberty Blues (14th – 556,000) get some traction (even if the figures are soft). The light evening meant Ten’s primetime got a little boost and the Network placed a much vaunted third for a change.
