The Block was the big winner in the ratings last night. The lead-up clocked 1.3 million viewers, and 1.4 million tuned in for the announcement of the room winner. That beat Beat The Chasers on Seven, with 1 million.
ABC’s Insiders came back down to earth, from 845,000 a week ago with the Joe Biden boost to 562,000 yesterday. The topics of the day: local politics, bonking Four Corners-style and Joel Fitzgibbon’s ego.
By the way, the new series of The Crown has started on Netflix. You have been advised.
In regional markets Seven News pulled in 454,000; The Block – Room Winner, 386,000; Beat The Chasers, 378,000; The Block, 354,000, 7pm ABC News, 327,000.
