Gallipoli audience continues to fall as five month delay hammers audience for Revenge
Nine’s drama series Gallipoli has continued to shed viewers on its third outing last night, with its audience dropping from 580,000 to 527,000, according to preliminary overnight numbers from OzTam.
Last week’s episode saw a steep decline from the show’s debut the week before which had 1.104m viewers, although it did pick up an extra 131,000 time-shifted viewers to take its total audience to 706,000. The whole series has also been made available on streaming service Stan.

In the 9pm timeslot the drama series was out-rated by Seven’s Revenge which grabbed a metro audience of 720,000, according to OzTam preliminary metro ratings. The premiere of season four of the show which was shown in the US last September was down on last year’s launch which debuted to an audience of 1.186m.
Revenge is still going? That was a 2 season premise.
Now that Gallipoli has failed badly could we please see all the rest of the 100th anniversary nostalgia binge for this event canned as well and no more money wasted. We are over Anzacs and Gallipoli, well and truly.
I gave it another go – because the makers deserve it.
I saw some brilliant filmic wide shots of battlefieds and the bay. And some bloody good performances. I was almost into it…when I suddenly got bored.
I think it may be too slow for a tv audiance. Movie goers are a captive audiance and are more patient. tv viewers aren’t. There’s always the fear of missing out on something on another chaneel. Perhaps they’ve made a movie instead of a tv series?
Perhaps if it was re-edited to a faster, tv pace.
So, 200k turn off Q&A this week – it still appears that domestic violence is the conversation many Australians don’t want to listen to, let alone speak about.
