‘Sunday Night’ Premiere on Seven

Our first look at ‘Sunday Night’, hosted by Mike Monro and Chris Bath.

Sunday the 8th of February at 6:30pm Sunday Night premiered for Channel 7.  Hosted by Mike Munro and Chris Bath. Produced by Adam Bowland, successful creator of Sunrise and The Morning Show.

The show began a little unstable at first, Mike Munro seemed a little nervous, he was live to air discussing the Victorian Bushfires.  Within the first 5 minutes there were a couple of stumbles and stutters however Mike is a consumate professional.  He then passed it onto Monique Wright, yes she is a blonde, however quite an intelligent blonde, has always been a reasonable presenter on 7 news and Sunrise.  She interviewed some of the survivors and discussed their stories.  Quite a heartfelt interview in such hard times.  She managed to show a great deal of compassion but at the same time convey her professionalism.

It was then onto Britt Lapthorne, the main story of the night.  Quite an indepth analysis on the case, with some new evidence analysed on the show.

Overall the show is quite well presented and should be a reasonably successful show for Channel 7.  Ideally if it could rate 1.4 million a week they should be really happy with that as it will launch their Sunday Nights quite nicely along with Seven News.

For those looking to find out more about the Brit Lapthorne case there is a Q and A after Sunday Night on 7HD starting at 7:30pm.  Also viewable online at Yahoo Seven.
