AFP loses out to Masterchef and Australia’s Got Talent
One of the most competitive nights of the 2011 TV schedule to date saw Nine’s second episode of AFP squeezed to 856,000 by Masterchef’s 1.593m on Ten and the return of Australia’s Got Talent (1.563m) to Seven.
The setback for AFP – made by Gruen Transfer producer Zapruder’s Other Films – follows a debut last week of 1.248m.
The show – following the work of the Australian Federal Police across eight countries – has been two years in the making.
The return of Masterchef has also buoyed up The 7PM Project for Ten. It rated 920,000.
Gee Tim you were predicting a Nine resurgence last week off the back of AFP’s “huge” debut against no competition over Easter… Quarter 2 looking very tough for Nine!
