TV Ratings April 18: SBS travel show outrates Nine’s

Mediaweek editor James Manning looks at last night’s TV ratings

• Seven keeps opponents at a distance with My Kitchen Rules well clear at #1
• SBS travel show outperforms Nine’s: Continent wins over Brits in Lake District

Nine

Two episodes of The Big Bang Theory started with 713,000 and then dropped to just under 600,000.

The Brits on Travel Guides visited England’s Lake District with 257,000 watching before a second episode dipped to 164,000.

TEN

The Project 7pm didn’t quite crack half a million.

Not far behind it was a new episode of NCIS on 457,000 followed by NCIS: Los Angeles on 380,000.

ABC

Michael Mosley’s Secrets Of Your Food did 405,000 while Todd Sampson failed to crack 300,000 for Life On The Line.
