Very strong week for the ABC indeed. A lot of season premieres that week. Earlier than most years. While Seven and Nine have sports, 10 will be in repeat mode for that week. So nice to have new content out there at that time of year.

I think that’s a possible key factor in setting that many premieres.
If you can’t beat them (7/9), might as well beat the easy one.

During the Ice Age in Europe, Neanderthals held the evolutionary upper hand, with a physiology better built for the cold. Yet against the odds, by around 30,000 years ago we were the only human species left.
