Before we go into a mock ratings thread, I think the Ashes Ratings are mostly fine.
Pre-match (60 minutes in some cities), Session 1 (2 hours) and Lunch (40 minutes) is fine for the ratings durations. Id get rid of the tea-break ratings, and just have Sessions 2 and Sessions 3 instead.
On another note, poor 10 with The Imposter. As @JBar mentioned before, 10 doesn’t seem to get Aussie drama right in recent times. No promotion. Odd decisions. Just about their reality tentpoles, and that’s it.
