I'm REALLY looking forward to this mini series. Underbelly Razor is going to be HUGE and for Xena fans, the extra bonus of Danielle Cormack in the role of Kate Leighin (one of the powerful women in the series) will be fantastic! The following was in the Sunday Telegraph newspaper yesterday
CHANNEL Nine has declared August 21 "Super Sunday''. The network is banking on its highest-rating night of television for 2011 by scheduling the finale of The Block, followed by the highly anticipated launch of Underbelly: Razor
Head of programming and production Andrew Backwell, who confirmed the line-up exclusively to Insider, expects The Block's two-hour auction and winner announcement, airing from 6.30pm, to peak at two million viewers - a perfect lead-in for the two-hour premiere of new drama, Underbelly: Razor.
"It will be the highest rating night of television on Channel Nine this year," Backwell said. "The Block finale will get a huge response. We'll flow that in to get Underbelly established, and I have very little doubt viewers will stick around for that, because Razor delivers.
"The mix of contemporary and period really works and reinvents the Underbelly brand."
