Hey all,
Outlander burst onto the scene in this competition in 2014 by winning at the first attempt. That has, understandably, earmarked it as one of the favourites each year since. It has finished fifth in both of the past two years and opens its account today as the third-most nominated current series. All logic would point to it doing well once again. Its opponent today is Dexter, a show which finished 11th in the first iteration of the competition but has only made it past the first round twice since. We're nearly five years on from the polarising series finale, so perhaps now is the time for Dexter to do better in this competition.
Next comes the longest-running series in the competition. Doctor Who is another that has featured every year thus far, but it is still yet to repeat its feat of a third round exit back in 2010 — two Doctors ago. There's no question that no other series in the 64 is quite like this one, but it never seems to do as well as it should. Beating Castle, the winner in 2012, would be a good start. It's the third year that the ABC series has entered in the finished category, with both appearances so far resulting in a round one defeat. That's a far cry from three straight appearances in the final between 2012 and 2014.
