Really? Only 23rd place for Go Back To Where You Came From? I enjoyed it and hoped more people had watched it.

Problem is, those who should watch “Go Back To Where You Came From?” probably aren’t said the Lead Soprano to the Choir….

Wow, I am surprised at “Go Back To Where You Came From”! It is great television! And at the heart of current political and social discussion!

But I guess those people getting polled for these statistics aren’t the ones who would even watch the program.. let alone sbs! They’re the ones who watch “Australia’s Got Talent”… tsk tsk.

Expecting Australians to watch TV shows that reveal how horrible some other Australians are at their core (as this SBS show wonderfully does) was always doomed to fail in terms of ratings. As a nation we only mass consume content that pats ourselves on the back when it comes to TV. A shame as this show is amazing.

If only they’d called it ‘Australia’s Got To Send Them Back To Where They Came From’, then some of Alan Jones audience might have tuned in and learnt something.
