Do you think 7pm Project’s win is due to the woeful Home and Away storylines of late? I ditched Neighbours and am ready to walk away from Home and Away too.

At the Comedy Festival this year during a panel discussion on TV comedy, Charlie Pickering was pleading (in a jokey way) for people to watch the 7pm Project. Good to see that it is finally drawing a good audience (and that a TV network actually stuck with something for a change, instead of immediately replacing it with repeats of The Nanny)
