A textbook night for the ABC as a cult hit drags the preceding show upwards. Not a good night for Seven.

While Ten and SBS are very stable, both Seven and Nine yielded a bit to put the ABC up 2% and over the 20% barrier.

The key show for the movement is Ja’mie: Private School Girl, which brought the ABC 924,000 people at 9.00. It is a bit unfair to compare anything to the Lilley juggernaut, but it gave the ABC an extra 200,000 compred to Julia Zemiro.
