Seven dominates the night with a 28.5% share, ahead of the ABC in second place at 23.5%. While seasonally out of place, the Vicar of Dibley - Easter Special helped Seven to its win for the night.

Meanwhile, the battle for 3rd was fought out between Nine and Ten. Nine as a network landed 3rd, helped by a huge GO share. While Ten as a network had to settle for 4th even though as a channel, channel 10 was 3rd most watched for the night with 9 in 4th. Unlike Nine with GO, Ten gets almost no help for its multi channel ONE with ONE’s share only just above shares for ABC3 and SBS TWO again settling for equal last in the shares for the night.
