The show explores criminal barrister-turned police informer Nicola Gobbo, whose story was first revealed to the public in reporting by the Herald Sun during which she was referred to as Lawyer X. Gobbo was tied up in the Melbourne gangland killings and her involvement has resulted in questions around the incarceration of some of Australia’s most notorious gangsters. Several actors from the Underbelly franchise reprised their roles in the Informer 3838 series.

Airing before Lawyer X, Lego Masters stayed above 1m metro viewers in the 7:30pm timeslot, drawing 1.097m metro viewers and 1.482m nationally, making it the most-watched entertainment program. It also topped all three of the key advertising demographics – 16-39s, 18-49s and 25-54s.

826,000 metro viewers tuned in for Masterchef: Back to Win on Ten, while Seven’s House Rules: High Stakes brought in 564,000. Masterchef took second place in all three of the key advertising demographics.

While Nine won the 7:30pm timeslot, ABC took the lead from 8:30pm. Four Corners drew 749,000 metro viewers followed by 687,000 for Media Watch. On Seven, 9-1-1 drew 329,000 metro viewers while 258,000 watched a Hughesy, We Have A Problem repeat on Ten.
