Makeovers boost Beauty and the Geek as Seven wins night

Despite another Thursday of subdued audiences where no show broke the 1m viewer mark, many programs saw some viewer growth on last week, with Beauty and the Geek, Madam Secretary and Kings Cross ER all posting improved numbers.

The makeover episode of Seven’s Beauty and the Geek last night saw its audience swell from 612,000 viewers to 753,000, according to OzTam Metro ratings. The show, which airs from 8pm to 9.45pm,  didn’t air last week, allowing an extra episode of Dancing with the Stars to air in its place which Seven said was normal for the series.

Seven just managed to pip Nine to win the night with an audience share of 19.4 per cent, while Nine settled for a share of 19 per cent. ten also held off ABC with 12 per cent share to 11.9 per cent.
