Hamish & Andy’s Perfect Holiday Special Tops TV Ratings for Free to Air
In this Christmas special, Australian comedians Hamish Blake and Andy Lee embark on a trip across America and Canada in an attempt to find the “perfect holiday”. Hamish & Andy’s Perfect Holiday is a three-part series that will surely deliver all the laughs just in time to usher in the Christmas season.
The first episode of this series aired last night and has earned a very impressive 881,000 viewers across free to air channels for overnight TV ratings. That immediately puts the show airing on channel Nine ahead of Sunday’s best, which also includes ABC’s hit drama Total Control and Pangolins special, as well as Seven’s Zumbo’s Just Desserts.
