 The ABC ran Unfinished Sky – yet another underrated Australian feature – at 10.00 to catch the night owls. Nine drops just short of the 3m nationally for The Voice. The ABC trundles out Inspector George Gently, and SBS topped 6% with a combination of Secrets of the Dead – Carthage’s Lost Warriors, Life On Us which is about skin parasites, and The Battle for Rio, about the crackdown on the favelas before the Brazil World Cup.
