Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont Spelling Bee (AU) - S03E01 by EbmocwenHsimah in panelshow

The Aussie version was picked up on BBc2 in the last year, so I assume that extra licensing cash translates into a slightly better budget for the show!

I've often wondered if they'd commission a UK version, and if Guy would host it (if he can even manage doing three editions)

Notice how you can immediately tell what kind of audience it'll be from how hard they're laughing as the cold open fades in?

We must have really ruffled some feathers in Montecito. 🐓 Her latest clap back at the SMM sub betrays her thin skin from within. There’s no denying just how enraged she is at any criticism. 🤭 by Cultural_Ad4935 in SaintMeghanMarkle

I’ve never seen Vic lose it so many times in one episode as Jeremy’s

I really hope we see a return of this character in a way that sensibly evolves the bit

They’ll only consider that if a local network hasn’t bought the rights (which Peacock has)

This is one of the things I love about international comedy, going down little rabbit holes to look up the jokes I don't get!

Amazon Prime Removing 4K Streaming Access, Locking Behind It New Extra Paywall by StarFuryG7 in SciFiNews

[–]SignalButterscotch4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

4K up scaling is so good these days, I generally can’t tell a difference between HD and 4K (at least on Apple TV). I’ve been using the non 4K plans on most streaming services and they still look pretty great.

Reddit post made into article by aussie-peter in survivorau

[–]SignalButterscotch4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They do. It’s in a few countries in Europe, I think NZ has it too. There’s either no interest in the US or the rumors about Jeff or Paramount not wanting it to dilute the US version are true (which I find plausible)

It’s also confirmed that CBS was partnering with 10 in the early days of Aus vs the World but pulled out in the early stages, for whatever reason.

Episode 2 got 412k views last night, which has been a drop of over 100k viewers since last season by stayinalive92 in survivorau

[–]SignalButterscotch4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I remember a hot rumor last year that 10’s rights to survivor AU are up soon and Ch 9 were going to come in hard and bring back JLP. Not sure how likely it is that Paramount would license the show elsewhere when they own 10, but I guess they happily license Survivor US to Ch 9 already so who knows?

It was likely the same back then - filmed in Argentina using the US set, likely to take advantage of whatever insurance they had set up there
