More People Watched A 'Kath & Kim' Rerun Than The Hutchence Doco Finale Last Night

Um... what?

TV ratings for part one of the Michael Hutchence: The Last Rockstar series weren't great, but the numbers for last night's finale are much worse. 

As TV Tonight reports, more people tuned in for the first of a two-episode Kath & Kim rerun than the documentary, which attracted an audience of just 488,000; down on the 526,000 who tuned in on Monday night. 

The show was the 16th most-watched programme on Tuesday night behind shows like Kath & Kim (521,000) and first-placed The Block (over 1.3 million).

The figures come after INXS spoke out against the documentary earlier this week, saying they were "never approached" about the project, however producer Michael Llewellyn hit back at the comments in an interview with The Music.
