Wednesday was the worst day for this to be shown.
I predict you may be wrong. It's not Masterchef it's celebrity masterchef, a show that has copped a bagging for its z grade celebrities. NCIS LA may be a bit of a threat but I think a bit of sentimentality will go a long way.

From what I can remember Masterchef was bagged too but got 3.7million people to watch the damn thing! (AFL grand final got 2.7million)

I hope i'm wrong! But how relevant is it in todays society? Families used to spend Saturday nights in and watch TV, not so much nowadays.

I'll be recording NCIS and watching HHIS that's for sure.

I used to keep in touch with John Blackman, but lost contact years ago. He is a very sincere guy, I always thought highly of him.

Liking it so far, nice and simple, the way I remembered!

I think ossie is making an appearance later? I heard them say something during ACA about him making an appearance, not sure what they said, but the dude who does it is 80 now, so not like he can really go the whole show

Also, I think Livinia Nixon is sort of annoying. That will happen when you spent as much time as she has with 'Laughing' Ed Philips.

Hot, yeah.
