"Journey" affects "Never Dance Alone" ratings

5 May – With more and more complaints submitted to TVB regarding the poor quality of the mainland drama, "Journey to the West" on the station's 8.30pm slot, it seemed that the series that occupies the subsequent time slot has been affected as well.

As reported on Mingpao, not only did the mainland drama receive a lot of flak from the public, its viewers' ratings also dropped to a meagre 21 points from its premiere's 25 points.

Unfortunately, the Eric Tsang-produced series, "Never Dance Alone" has also felt the repercussion of viewers' wrath, as its ratings were reported to have dropped from 26 to 23 in its second week because of the failure of "Journey to the West" to maintain viewers' attention towards the station.

However, TVB executive Tsang Sing Ming still believes that the mainland series will slowly pick up and stressed that they have no plans to cancel it. Tsang also urged viewers to continue watching the series, stressing his belief that "Journey" will be able to slowly gain viewers' attention.
