Young, Lazy and Driving Us Crazy

Young, Lazy and Driving Us Crazy

Channel Seven’s new reality show that throws ten pampered young adults in a house where they are forced to fend for themselves launched to 396,000 last night, winning more viewers than Ten managed for The Biggest Loser in an earlier timeslot.

It was also in direct competition with British drama Sherlock, which has already been shown in Perth and was not shown there last night, which averaged 351,000 for the network beating Seven in Sydney and Melbourne, tying in Brisbane and losing out in Adelaide. Last night saw the second episode of series three being broadcast six weeks after it first aired in the UK, with the series already available to buy on iTunes.

Young, Lazy and Driving us Crazy is based on the UK format Young, Drunk and Living off Mum, produced by Matchbox Pictures and hosted by Lawrence Mooney. It was second in its timeslot at 9pm, and also posted bigger numbers than The Biggest Loser, which averaged 394,000 on Ten from 7.30pm.
