Underbelly Razor
I’m afraid Wild Boys is just a western with Australian accents. And Underbelly: Razor is starting to become tedious. Still, apart from a bit of sport on Foxtel, there’s not much else around on a Sunday night.

Sunday was dead viewing wise. Got my DVD of Kolchack: The Night Stalker out.

yeah…Wild Boys is like home and away minus panel vans and Razor is like a violent version of the Sullivans with better sex and violence. People are tuning into the news to she if Gillard has resigned yet. Clearly we need Jack Bower back.

Wow. Half a million for the Rugby World Cup Wallabies match…in the middle of a Sunday afternoon when it was also being screened, ad free, on Fox Sports in homes, pubs, clubs.
It would appear the brilliant young stars of the Wallabies have caught the imagination of the sporting public.
But quite a coup for Nine for a Sunday afternoon!
Now, if only the referees can put their whistles in their pockets a bit more…and leave them there!
