Home And Away again had an audience just under 700,000.
The anniversary Home And Away special – Endless Summer: 30 Years Of Home And Away – saw that audience drop for 605,000. That contributed to Seven’s lowest Tuesday survey share this year – 17.5%
Interview subsequently didn’t have a great lead-in audience with 448,000. It was easy to pay attention when it came on though with Dylan Alcott talking about losing his virginity and then porn star Angela White detailing one of the things she had learnt during her career. The audience was on 448,000 after 481,000 last week.
