“The ABC had a 19.3% network share, behind Ten’s 16.5% but ahead of SBS’ 11.2%.”.

This could indicate a number of things, but one of them may be that audiences are tiring (at long last) of so-called “Reality TV” and lame, half-arsed panel shows, and heading back to good theatrical productions.

Death in Paradise is at the low end of that example, but at least it is produced with purpose and integrity.
