    TV3 slots 1, 2 and 3.  Has this ever happened before?  TVNZ really have F….d up big time havnt they.  Time for heads to roll …. ring back Coro – if it aint broke don’t fix it!

  • Benjamin Paul

    TV3 usually does well on Friday because of their good comedy line-up, TV1 only competes well with it if they replay the Vicar of Dibley.

    The Bachelor did quite poorly, can kind of see why if you couldn’t be bothered with bringing back a previous Bachelor?!

  • elaliotv

    TVNZ had the rights to Graham Norton a couple of years ago and buried it in the grave yard slot!!! So once again TVNZ misses another golden opportunity to win back the friday Night slot!! THe only way to counter is to Bring all new episodes of Chatty Man to primetime which would surely find an audience to rival Graham Norton on tv3. SO COME ON TVNZ STOP BURYING GOOD SHOWS LATE AT NIGHT!!!

  • reece_555

    TV One have tried to counter Graham Norton by introducing Jonathon Ross although I dont think they have directly aired alongside each other much due to the RWC, but it hasnt rated well. But TV3′s gamble with Graham Norton is one that has paid off well.
