Which was better INXS or Schapelle

Channel 7's INXS Never Tear Us Apart v Channel 9's Schapelle. Which was better?

And in a race to win the ratings, Channel 9 decided to bring forward Schapelle by one day. What. A. Mistake. It would've been more relevant and made more sense to play the telemovie on Schapelle Corby's first night on parole. Instead Nine opted for a ratings war.

Channel 9's had nine years to make a telemovie and what a coincidence Deidre Chambers. They just happen to have produced a show ready for the surprise release of Corby. Is that not weird to you? And check out the dead ringers for

Here at Media Muncher we were flicking between Seven and Nine. INXS ended first so we got to see the last ten minutes uninterrupted of Schapelle which proved important because the script blamed her father and a friend for the drug smuggling. Interesting.

Both shows weren't officially endorsed by either party as 100 per cent true accounts.

The music made INXS Never Tear Us Apart whereas we felt emotional watching Schapelle given the timing of her parole.

Part two of INXS concludes next Sunday. Schapelle was a one off telemovie.
