MasterChef Australia to air in the UK

masterchefausMasterChef Australia, is set to air in the UK.

Given the show was a local adaptation of the British format, it’s quite an achievement for FremantleMedia Australia.

Our version ramped up the output with 6 episodes a week, and was given the creative freedom by the Brits to vary the format accordingly. Clearly, they pulled it off, including with better production values.

The 72-episode series will air in the UK in January on general entertainment channel Watch before running on the Good Food channel from May.

Meanwhile, the 2010 has just started auditions, with word that the standard at the Adelaide auditions has already raised the bar.

    the UK version of Masterchef is pretty lame, and I think it’s already been shown here on Foxtel?

  2. Jed says:

    Wow well done to Masterchef. I would say why don’t Ten show the UK version over summer break, even though US Biggest Loser and SYTYCD both bombed. But over Summer why not??

    And Go Adelaide.
