The comedy was a hit among 16-39 and 18-49 year olds where it came third and fourth respectively.

MasterChef: The Professionals was again out of the top 20 and was ranked 14th in 16-39s and 16th in the 18-49 age group.
Turning to the news battle, Seven News won the war with 1.195 million viewers ahead of Nine News’ 1.147 million.
