The Brownlow Medal extravaganza (the Logies of footy!) worked better last night than on Monday nights — 1.089 million nationally meant Seven easily won the night. It completely nullified the 1.349 million for The Block on Nine.

Seven, Nine and the ABC go to a funeral tonight to justify the mass junketeering in London. So it’s SBS or Ten for viewing tonight — Ten likely to win, thanks to Have You Been Paying Attention?
