Mediaweek editor James Manning looks at last night’s TV ratings
• Seven a winner with season finals of Instant Hotel & Secret Daughter
• Nine launches Voice Kids UK, TEN programs extra episode of Cram!
• Tom Gleeson's Hard Quiz ends long season as #1 after 7.30pm
Seven
The midweek episode of Home and Away featured action in the Yabbie Creek police station and the Summer Bay diner with an audience of 663,000 after two nights just under 700,000.
The series final of Instant Hotel managed 611,000, which is not far above what most episodes attracted through its short season.
Another season final was The Secret Daughter, which ended with a double episode. The audience for the penultimate episode – 497,000 – was smaller than the final, which did 433,000.
Nine
A Current Affair featured a report on the murder of Clare Morrison – the "murder Australia forgot", said the program. Ben Fordham later turned up commenting on a pokie thief during a report from a very persistent Taylor Auerbach, who did his best to secure an interview with the thief. The midweek episode did 788,000.

The season final of Hard Quiz found experts on Phil Spector and the Oscars. After a long and successful 18-episode season, the Tom Gleeson-hosted program did 639,000. It was again #1 show after 7.30pm and outrated the final Instant Hotel among others.
An episode of Rosehaven then did 553,000 followed by The Letdown on 380,000 and then Adam Hills: The Last Leg on 222,000.

Riviera then wrapped with a double episode, which had an average audience of 87,000.
