Gogglebox free-to-air premiere up on last year as The Checkout debut down on last year
The return of the ABC’s The Checkout pulled in 653,000 metro viewers at 8:00pm last night, down on last year’s debut, which was watched by 727,000 while the return to Ten of Gogglebox, at 8:30pm, grabbed 629,000.
It was up on last year’s free-to-air premiere, which saw 495,000 metro viewers tune in.
Gogglebox was the third most-watched show amongst viewers aged 16-39 and the most-watched show amongst 18 to 49-year-old viewers and 25-54 year olds.
The most-watched non-news program of the evening was Seven’s My France with Manu, which grabbed 713,000 metro viewers at 7:30pm.
I enjoyed Gogglebox, but it had a slightly nastier edge to it (the Daryl Somers stuff in particular) than I remember last year, which I found a litte unsettling.
