The Nine Network has scored a hit with the Australian version of British TV show Ladette To Lady, with more than 1.3 million Australians tuning into show's premiere.The show easily smashed its competition, the US series Dexter on Network Ten and Brothers and Sisters on the Seven Network on Monday night.
The makeover type show follows eight young women as they undergo a transformation at the Eggleston Hall finishing school in England, under the tutelage of principal Gillian Harbord and cooking teacher Rosemary Shrager.
Monday night's episode featured eight unruly Australian girls, swearing, drinking, and some even pulling down their pants and pressing their bottoms against a bus window.
Nine also had big wins with Underbelly, which proved it had lost none of its appeal following its premiere a week earlier.
More than 2.4 million Australians tuned into the crime drama to make it the most watched program of the night.
The Nine Network, which now looks to have Monday night sewn up, also drew in big numbers with its factual reality series Customs and the US sitcom Two And A Half Men.
Nine smashed its competition with a 34.2 per cent audience share, ahead of Seven (24.9), Ten (17.6) and the ABC (16.5).
Network Ten's best results came thanks to So You Think You Can Dance Australia and its news, while Seven's most watched shows were its 6pm news and current affairs program Today Tonight.
It comes after Nine won the first official week of the ratings battle last week.
