Tuesday night and the standout was the second part of the ABC four-parter
Ms Represented with Annabel Crabb. Patient, well-made TV and a stand out for a second week. The program is why the ABC is vital and necessary. It showed up the commercial networks for being weak-kneed enablers.
The program averaged 833,000 after 842,000 the week before. It beat
Beauty And The Geek on Nine with 762,000.
Australian Survivor on Ten averaged 898,000.

, Nine News (1.48 million) and the 7pm ABC News (1.15 million).
Farmer Wants A Wife (1.14 million national viewers) easily accounted for the return of
Australian Survivor on Ten (934,000) and Nine’s dying
Beauty And The Geek (567,000 against 1 million for the debut a week ago a nasty 43% loss).
The Tour de France had 137,000 people the final stage coverage from 11pm to 2am (it ended closer to 4am). Paris looked gorgeous in the late afternoon and early evening.
On Saturday night, the third Rugby Union Test between Australia and France (won by the Wallabies with 14 players for 75 minutes) averaged 691,000 national viewers that was more than the AFL on Saturday night on Seven (578,000) and more than any NRL game on Nine on Friday night or Sunday afternoon. A win for the Wannbees and a bigger win for Rugby Union. The series was tied 1 test all going into the game.
