MasterChef Australia starts tonight on U & W. For those of us on Virgin Media Stream, you can watch the first ten episodes

Oh thanks for the heads up! My DD and I love it - so different to UK one! She’s abroad at the moment so will have to catch up. We do tend to skip the ones where a guest chef comes in to do a Master Class though. And I always feel for the ones who have to stand up on the gantry watching and fake whooping at the contestants below.

Thanks for letting us know. Will look out for it.

Yay. I literally wait all year for this. My fave so far is the girl and her chiffon sponge.

Davros · 04/08/2026 18:06

I have a link for anything Masterchef so was delighted to see this is a new series. That will keep me going for a while

Davros · 04/08/2026 20:09

Me and DD already hate Lydia 😆

Anyone watching? Apparently it is available via Catchup on Channel 4.

Davros · 06/08/2026 20:07

I am

NewGirlInTown · 07/08/2026 12:51

I started watching this, my God it’s awful!
All the screaming and shouting, sounds like a football match!
And the nonsense drama right from the first episode?? As though lives are at stake?

I do hope UK Masterchef doesn’t follow this format.

PS Lydia is ghastly, what the heck is the matter with her?

Davros · 07/08/2026 14:10

I really enjoy MC Oz but it’s a very different beast to UK

Virgo1958 · 10/08/2026 21:48

Is that woman going to go on about her 4 kids throughout the whole competition?

I missed yesterday’s (Rick Stein?)

Davros · 25/08/2026 23:19

Just watched Rick Stein tonight. He’s such a twat.

ItsPeggyOlson · 03/09/2026 16:11

Just started watching, will check back in when I’m caught up. Don’t even need to watch the Rick Stein episode to agree that he’s a dingbat.

mrswhiplington · 03/09/2026 16:35

Dot's my favourite. Loved the cherry stone spitting competition.

Davros · 03/09/2026 19:00

I like Dot. Can’t stand Grace or mother of 4.

TigerRag · 03/09/2026 19:22

Davros · 03/09/2026 19:00

I like Dot. Can’t stand Grace or mother of 4.

I think that's Lydia who I also can't stand

As ever it seems it's the same people talk to the camera which means there's certain people I think I've never seen before and we're on something like 23 episodes. It happens every series and irritates me

Lydia is the old Greek bag, mother of 4 is younger

Virgo1958 · 06/09/2026 20:29

Glad the "do a curry every time' woman has gone.

Davros · 06/09/2026 21:07

Me too @Virgo1958

NewGirlInTown · 09/09/2026 02:46

Thank God, Lydia has finally gone. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Davros · 09/09/2026 07:19

Agreed. That thing she made was an abomination

LIZS · 09/09/2026 12:06

How can you get it quite so wrong!

LIZS · 11/09/2026 19:24

So who is going to make a come back?

Virgo1958 · 11/09/2026 21:50

NewGirlInTown · 09/09/2026 02:46

Thank God, Lydia has finally gone. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Now she's coming back!
