,em>Slight drop for Seven, while Nine down by 1.8% gives Ten a chance to crack the magic twenty while the ABC gains 0.7%.
The Art of Australia took 530,000 for the ABC at prime time 8.30. A landmark three part arts series, it replaced Attenborough who scored 588,000. That fifty thou is not a bad loss, considering it was The Beloved David and the title is not enticing.
Nines offering in the slot Super Fun Night cost it 109,000 compared to the opening night last week, which explains the drop. Dancing with the Stars held firm to drive everyone else nuts. But Ten, burdened by Recipes to Riches at 469,000, blasted through at 8.30 with an episode of NCIS with 775,000. And made an actual gain which put it ahead of the ABC.
