1.053 million watch Go Back to Where You Came From on SBS

SBS had another big win with the first episode of the second series of Go Back to Where You Came From.

The Glenn Dyer breakdown: Seven’s night as The X Factor maintained its solid performance from its opening week (and built on Monday night’s figures). Nine fell away (like it did last Tuesday) and the ABC remained third, in front of Ten in metro markets (but Ten had a rare win in regional markets in All People).

SBS had another big win with the first episode of the second series of Go Back to Where You Came From — it had more viewers last night than any of Ten’s programs. Go Back to Where You Came From had 752,000 for its return last night on SBS ONE at 8.30pm, and 1.053 million nationally (it wasn’t quite as popular in regional markets).

Unfortunately for Ten, it now looks like I Will Survive, won’t, after its prime time metro audience fell to just 364,000 (and 525,000 nationally) from 506,000 metro viewers on its debut at 7.30pm.

Tonight: Gruen Planet on ABC 1. The X Factor on Seven. The Farmer Wants a Wife on Nine (Big Brother if you are a TV masochist). Ten has I Will Survive and Puberty Blues. Rosemary & Thyme on 7TWO at 8.30pm. Gem has double episodes (repeats) of the UK drama Silent Witness. SBS has the second part of Go Back to Where You Came From tonight at 8.30pm and the third and final episode tomorrow night.
