ABC’s premiere special But Also John Clarke topped the entertainment shows for 1 January with an impressive 712k.

That was ahead of the BBL where Perth Scorchers defeated the Hobart Hurricanes by 40 runs averaging 607k while Great Getaways on Nine had 523k. The Graham Norton Show NYE Special on 10 managed just 119k and SBS’s Big Fat Quiz Of The Year 2025 missed the rankings.

Later Topknotz - Wild On Water was up slightly on its previous episode to 263k. After the BBL, The Spin had 219k with 10’s movie Forest Gump on 165k ahead of ABC’s offering Murder By Numbers with 161k. Limitless With Chris Hemsworth also made the top 30 with 107k.

Seven News was just 2k ahead of Nine’s 6pm bulletin while A Current Affair with 892k was well ahead at 7pm. Earlier Tipping Point beat The Chase by 168k.

Breakfast TV numbers were down on recent result though Sunrise with 357k was still +100 k ahead of Today.

Note: I suspecting a coding error with ABC News at 7pm this week – averaging in mid 400k range.

I mean, TCA over TPA for the first time in a very long time. Granted they’re both on repeat mode and on New Year’s Day, but still.

What?

Sorry, my bad. Reading TP-Rpt and thought that was TPA. Well then…

Of all the stuff the ABC could’ve showed, seems like such a left of field choice, especially for their demographic. Main channel or the network don’t often air movies anyway.

Perhaps only remotely known for Sandra Bullock and Ryan Gosling’s fling in real life at the time. Bullock was also an uncredited EP. Margaret and David didn’t think much of this from memory.

Surprised, but happy, that John Clarke’s doco rated so well for the ABC. Odd choice of having a Sandra Bullock movie following it, but rated okay for the 9.15pm start.

Having The Graham Norton Show at 6pm failed to make any impression for 10.

Stupid scheduling = bad ratings.

You certainly have in interest in both of these shows, I recall you saying that TCA was on a trajectory to eclipse Tipping Point by midyear. I think you till could be on to something….the numbers may slowly be changing. :stuck_out_tongue:

Thread title should be 2026?

SBS’ annual New Years Day offering - The Big Fat Quiz of the Year - failed to make the top 30 (in reach), but did make some of the demos. Was watchable, but not as strong as other years.

But Also John Clarke was a brilliant and funny film, and deserved the figures.
