Grant Denyer’s camp game show lifts I’m a Celebrity above The Block, while Gallipoli falls again
The audience for Nine’s historical drama Gallipoli tumbled again last night whilst its primetime reality show The Block: Triple Threat was also outrated by Ten’s I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here in the 7.30pm timeslot.
Ten’s reality show, which is still being simulcast on multichannel One, recorded an audience of 748,000 with Grant Denyer’s appearance to host a quiz with contestants adding 131,000 viewers on last Monday’s episode.

The Block could only manage 723,000, down from 812,000 last Monday, but Seven’s My Kitchen Rules dominated the timeslot and the night with 1.649m viewers. ABC’s 7.30 had 815,000 viewers.
Great win by Celebrity… over the Block.
Methinks Nine has milked that little cash cow dry. I’m actually not sure how people can sit through the judges’ waffle.
Gallipoli has fantastic photography and acting, and is a very polished Australian production, but it’s undermined by a very plodding storyline. I’ve been watching since the first episode but find I’m losing interest since. They could have simply made it into a three-part mini-series and it would have done much better for viewer ratings.
Grant Denyer Ten’s golden boy??
I hope they will run ” Gallipoli “again, closer to Anzac Day, maybe on Sunday nights. I was keen to see it, but not yet.
In the fierce battle for 12th and 13th on Monday night……Channel Ten (the fourth network) narrowly pipped flogged to death reality franchise The Block.
People are sick to death of the gallipoli story….can’t we do better than that? It peaked with Peter Weir and Mel Gibson – in f**king 1981.
Well, this confirms just how out of touch i am.
Of the 15 top shows, i watched 3…
(5) – Seven News
(11) – Four corners
(14) Media Watch
Offal – don’t feel bad, you’re not alone. My viewing was the same, except I watched Nine rather that Seven News (actually, I think that puts me three points ahead of you).
