Hamish & Andy win the night on TV

Hamish and Andy's Caravan of Courage: Australia v New Zealand debuted with 1.338 million metro viewers last night.

It was the most popular show of the night across important demo's of 16-39, 18-49 and 25-54.

Last week Hamish said:

"It (Australia v New Zealand) is the idea that we have had for a long time – probably even before the Great Britain and Ireland Caravan. When it looked like we had a bit of free time at the end of this year we thought this was a great opportunity to dust off the van – or get a new van and put the same logos on it. Going from the very bottom to the very top seemed like a fair way to cover New Zealand and the equivalent distance across the top of Australia seemed fair too."

"We're ashamed to say this, but in the early days, we probably didn't think there would be a TV show in it (the Australia v NZ concept). We thought, 'it's New Zealand, there can't be that much there (interesting to see)', but it's phenomenal – such an amazing adventure."
