Seven: Home and Away wrapped its week with Luke Jacobz asking a colleague, “Are you going to charge me with stealing your wife, because that’s all you have on me at present.” The triple episode was on 484,000 after three previous nights in the mid to high 500,000s.
Seven unleashed The Front Bar Grand Final Edition to a national audience at 8.30pm on the primary channel. The audience subsequently climbed to 479,000 after 330,000 last week. However, the Sydney audience refused the invite after a bold programming move – just 27,000 in that market. In Melbourne there was 299,000 tuned in.
Highlight of a strong episode was Fitzy on location in a Sydney car park with a truck full of turf. Joining Fitzy were David Koch and the truck driver who looked very much like Nova Sydney breakfast EP Tom Ivey.
Other guests joining Mick, Sam and Andy included Andy Lee, Gil McLachlan, the Rocca Brothers Anthony and Sav plus Eddie Betts.
