To Schapelle is the Answer!


The Schapelle Corby special has won Sunday night for Nine with huge numbers tuning in to see the first part of the documentary last night.


About 1.7 million viewers watched the first part of the documentary with the conclusion tomorrow night, easily fending off the finale of Grey's Anatomy which managed 1.1 million viewers.


The timing for the special was made for Nine with Schapelle being hospitalised on Friday and some revelations that the baggage handler story was fabricated by Corby's own lawyers was a coup for the documentary and the network's news credibility.


60 Minutes again returned impressive figures with almost 1.8 million viewers while The Battle of the Choirs managed 1.35 million viewers and Big Brother: Live Eviction was a tickle over the million.


Domestic Blitz continues to do just that, Blitz the 6:30PM ratings with 1.5 million viewers which gave Nine a very healthy winning margain for Sunday night.

Nine 34.9
Seven 25.8
Ten 18.1
ABC 16.3

Those figures are not very encouraging for Ten but a great start to the Week for Nine. Perhpas Schapelle could win the week for Nine.
