Midsomer’s return last night has seen it beat The X Factor in its debut week with an overall rating figure of 1,307.000 viewers. In the same timeslot the Sunday prior, ABC failed to crack the top 10, with its 8.30 offering rating half of the Midsomer figure.

Great further exposure for our mighty brand.

Offspring on Ten, continued to reach the 1 million viewer mark which bodes well for our DVD release in December.

Our August release Martin Clunes - A Man And His Dogs debuts this Saturday night on Seven at 6.30pm. His Horsepower documentary (running the past 2 weeks in the same slot) averaged about 800,000 viewers, making it Seven’s most watched program of the night and winning its timeslot. Everyone knows doggies are more popular than horsies,
