Last night, A Current Affair raked in a Total TV National reach of 1,594,000 for Nine.
A former carer hopes to solve a three-decade mystery and reunite a family with the ashes and belongings of a war veteran.
Throughout the mid-90s, Teena Wobcke cared for veteran and former watchmaker James Howard in his Ermingtion home in Sydney’s west.
Howard was an isolated man who “didn’t leave the home very much”, according to Wobcke, who looked after him for over two years until he died in 1996, at age 75.
At the time of his passing Howard did not have a next of kin, and Wobcke, then aged in her 20s, was the only one with a personal connection to him.
She was asked to collect his belongings from the nursing home he was sent to shortly before he died.
“I was given a bag of his belongings, and there were photographs in there, photographs of his life, with a wife, with children,” Wobcke said.
After failing to locate his family over the last few decades, Wobcke contacted A Current Affair in the hope our audiences could help her track them down.
Over on Seven, My Kitchen Rules brought in a Total TV National Reach of 1,777,000 and a Total TV National Average Audience of 1,053,000.
Channel 10‘s Dessert Masters saw a Total TV National Reach of 894,000.
