FACT/POLEMIC: Top 10 TV shows in Australia (27/02-05/03)

Yeah yeah I know, these stats are way late but I thought them interesting for one reason: an ABC show actually making the Top 10. An incisive documentary maybe? A cutting edge political analysis? A comedy with brains and humanity?

Nope, a lightweight chit chat with some European aristocrats, and just 'cos a former real estate agent from Tasmania got hitched to some chinless titled wonder from Denmark and is now, apparently, "Our Princess".

Still, an ABC show in the Top 10 amongst the usual other dross. Makes a change I guess.
