Packed To The Rafters is proving to be the only TV show currently delivering metro audiences of more than 2m.

The Seven drama pulled in an average audience 2.001m, according to preliminary overnight ratings from OzTam, leading the channel to an easy win for Tuesday night.

With Ten’s Masterchef and Nine’s Underbelly no longer in the schedule, Rafters is the only show able to attract 2m+ audiences.

Meanwhile, Nine’s best performer on Tuesday was Top Gear with 1.4m viewers while Ten’s Modern Family held up with 1.2m.

Rafters’ ratings success over the past two weeks is due in no small part to the quality of the direction, which has helped deliver some very strong performances.
