Slight dips for both 6PM with George Negus and Ten Evening News signals very clearly that night 1 for these shows is done, the fascination is over – now it’s up to the individual programs to prove their worth for the viewing public’s attention.

Are You Being Served? The top program for the night?! That’s ludicrous. The numbers for Neighbours are all over the place – highest rating program at least once last week, 3rd on this occasion. The real tragedy here, however, is that new episodes of The Office US & Californication rated 27th & 33rd respectively. Both are quality programming, and major kudos to Eleven for running them consistently in the same slot at the same time (well, two weeks in a row so far).
