Between the Screen Forever conference and the active depredations of our hackers, an entire week of ratings reports is missing. So I have summarised the performance of the Australian independent productions. After all, these are the key figures.
Sunday, 17th November:
Bodyline: the Ultimate Test, starring Adam Zwar investigating a certain Ashes cricket scandal, ran at 7.30pm. It took 497,000 in the five biggest cities, though ABC staff pointed out at the conference that it did very well in the regions. The network struggled on 14.6%, nearly 4% down on Ten, while Seven and Nine fought for the 30% mark, using current affairs and nature documentaries.
