    TVB has recently changed its schedules and the mainland series "Sigh of His Highness" has been moved out of the 10:30 pm slot to be replaced by "Puzzle" hosted by Adam Cheng, Wong Yi Hing and Koni Lui. Probably triggered by the premiere of new series "The Family Link" following "A Change of Destiny", TVB's evening ratings appear to have risen recently.

    "The Family Link" reached an average of 32 points, peaking at 33 points, 4 points up from the finale of "A Change of Destiny" on Friday. The popular "Heart of Greed" reached average ratings on Monday of 33 points. As for "Puzzle" that has taken over the "Sigh of His Majesty" slot, it gained first episode ratings of 23 points, peaking at 26 points, up 8 on last week, massing about 500,000 viewers.

    However, after the airing of the first episode of "Puzzle", the Broadcasting Authority received two telephone and three email complaints, one about the appearance of a corpse, which was frightening. The other complaints were aimed towards the 'Puzzle Lady' Koni Lui, saying that her spinning around made them dizzy. Also, thanks to the recent release of "Spiderman 3" on the big screen, TVB Pearl's screening of "Spiderman 2" attracted 880,000 viewers, peaking at 1.05 miillion viewers, creating the highest viewer numbers for the year on Pearl.

    "Heart of Greed" mothers Lee Si Kei and Susanna Kwan were interviewed on a radio show yesterday and Susanna spoke of how her character is always slapping people, but she finds that this is one of the hardest things to do. When she was slapping Lai Lok Yi and Michelle Yim during filming, they both told her to slap them for real, but she was still very afraid when she hit them and she says that hitting people is really hard to do. Si Kei praises Lok Yi's professionalism, saying that when he returned to the wardrobe room, he indicated he was a little nauseous after being hit by Susanna.
