Monday night is to become a key battleground for Nine and Seven with both networks bringing out their big guns.

Seven launches its sci-fi drama FlashForward at 8.30pm on Monday week, September 28, while Nine debuts its Australian franchise of The Apprentice at 9.30pm.

Seven has already been heavily promoting Flash Forward as a hit.

And Nine has high hopes for the Apprentice, which is planned for a ten week run. It features 12 competitors seeking a job with Wizard Home Loans founder Mark Bouris. The show already has successful US and UK versions.

I wish Ten was doing the apprentice. I think they would do a much better job.
