Relative Merits is a 1987 mini series about three months in the life of a radio journalist.[1] Due to new rules at the ABC the series was given a late night time slot which Robin Oliver from the Sydney Morning Herald said all but killed the series.[2]

Louise Bellamy of The Age commenting of the first episode said "Unfortunately, their lives hold as much interest as Ken and Barbie doll. But it's early days"[3] Also in the Age Barbara Hooks wrote "'Relative Merits' obviously has something worth saying, but the message may be lost if it proves too bitter a pill."[4] Bronwyn Watson wrote in the Sydney Morning Herald that "Relative Merits is uneven, rather slow-moving in parts, but it has to be praised because at least it has the guts to tackle an up-to-date subject."[5]
