The Million Dollar Drop did ok, up a touch on last week with 0.770m, solidifying the improvement compared to last Monday when it pulled in just 0.570m.

6.30 with George Negus also faired reasonably well for a Thursday night, drawing 0.398m, although the audience was weak compared to Monday when it nudged close to the 0.5m mark.
