Gallipoli falls to 580,000 on second outing while ABC performs well on Monday night
Nine’s much promoted drama series Gallipoli saw its audience nearly halve on its second outing last night, falling from 1.104m to 580,000 last night.
The result for the third episode of the show, which has already been made available in its entirety on streaming service Stan, will be a disappointment for Nine which has invested heavily in the Endemol production, which ranked 19th in the ratings behind I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here and game show Hot Seat.

According to Oztam preliminary metro ratings Monday night saw the ABC perform strongly across board with the likes of Q&A and Australian Story both performing well.
ABC News 7pm came 11th, not second.
Thanks Aaron,
Yes a mistake on my part. Story has been corrected.
Cheers

All those 9 ads for Gallipoli during the cricket had me cheering for the Turks.
I was looking forward to Gallipoli but only lasted five minutes as it was boring. clearly others are thinking the same. the house of hancock was disjointed in parts. I was expeticting to see more of the rose hancock situation but got a story more about Gina Reinhert that then hancock story. I think viewers wanted more of the relationship between Rose and Lang not the Reinhert story. At the end where she has problems with the kids and the inheritance was out of place.
I said earlier that there was no way I’d be watching Gallipoli because it had been promo’d to a premature death. Seems a lot of punters agree with me. Surely, someone in the marketing departments of all channels (SBS and ABC included and certainly including Discovery and other lifestylers on Foxtel) should take a long, hard look at themselves and realise that it is indeed possible to over-promote to the point of “oh no, not again”? We really do not need to see the same promo we’ve seen at least 6 times in the last hour.
I am convinced that Fox promos are computer-time-generated because they break a program mid-sentence (and sometimes even mid-word) to chuck in yet another (but the same) promo they ran ten minutes ago. Shit, we’ve even got channels now that are totally adverts – the 7/3 minute or 6/4 minute program to ad ratio (yes, promos are ads) will soon be 5/5 and perhaps even 4/6. Give us a break, for heaven’s sake.
