Downton Abbey falls to lowest audience for Seven but Gogglebox rises for its finale on Ten
The finale of Gogglebox on Ten at 8.30pm pulled in a metro audience of 594,000, up on its free-to-air premiere which saw 495,000 metro viewers tune in the later timeslot of 9pm, on a night when the likes of Downton Abbey and The Checkout’s audiences went backwards.
Gogglebox was the most-watched show across all the demographics, helping Ten secure an audience share of 13.4 per cent.
However Seven’s decision to move British period drama Downton Abbey to Thursdays from Sundays appears to have backfired as it pulled its lowest ever audience across the five metro markets of 640,000 at 9pm.

Maybe because nobody actually likes british drama. How boring.
Gogglebox is a winner, if Ten persist with it.
I think it would do even better next time around – there’s a good buzz about it.
Agreed..I didn’t think I’d like Gogglebox but it grows on you. Hope they make a second series
