This show should be a massive hit here, considering all of Jamie's shows have been hits for Ten.

Jamie's Kitchen Australia premieres Thursday 14 of September at 7.30. I wonder if he will do any button pushing for the promos

Can't wait!

How did his other shows rate here?

How long will the series last, till the end of the year?

I'm guessing it'll be around 6-8 episodes, much like Jamie's School Dinners, especially if its an hour-long show. I can see it rating well, but it will be a short-lived series.

I think its a good idea. The cafe he opened in the U.K.(i think u.k.) is still around and each year they take 15 new underprivaged kids and give them a real go!!!  good bloke if you ask me!!

...

Looks after 15 underprivileged children?  He gains nothing for it?  It's completely altruistic?  Highly doubtful... he is making money hand over fist through ventures like this...

The school dinners?  Well, that's a completely different kettle of fish.

Every TV show is made for with the intention to make money. At the least he is helping others while doing it. And the cafe in the U.k. is still running and taking in new kids each year dispite the tv show about it finished a few years ago.

Australian schools aren’t anywhere near as bad as the UK... at least we have salad rolls n fresh pasta dishes available and I dunno about other schools but I memba the rolls n pasta being sold out WELL before sausage rolls and that were in high school.. we would line up first to get them before they were gone.. So stick ur tongue at that uk!! lol.

N besides it's those primary school lunch boxes they need to tackle!! tisk tisk u naughty parents! I've had parents pack bags of popcorn for my kids n what else... oh, two or three fruit drinks instead of water! I catch a few parents trying to sneak by without packing the compulsory sandwich or fresh lunch.. It’s for sure those lunch boxes that need tackling! lol.     

Yeah, but unlike the US and the UK, VERY rare schools have cafeterias which essentially FORCE kids to eat fatty foods on a regular basis (at least I haven't seen any cafeterias in Australia).

My school canteen sells a lot of fatty stuff. Such as pies, burgers, chips, one-off specials (such as spaghetti or fried chicken). Oh, and soft-drinks too (the caffeine-free ones such as Fanta/Solo etc). Sadly I don't think they sell anything suitable for vegetarians.

I saw a report on TV where parents were regularly turning up to school at lunchtime and throwing bags of McDonalds over the fence for their kids.

What the? Have we really come to that?

That said, I still have fond memories of collecting the lunch basket at Primary School, full of paper bags for those who ordered lunch. The smell of party pies, hotdogs and stawberry Big M's was always good stuff.

I almost never go to the tuckshop but I think we sell healthy and unhealthy. We have unhealthy stuff like lollies, ice blocks, soda, pies, sausage rolls, pizza on wednesdays, hot chips etc but we also sell like water, milk, sushi, rolls/sandwiches, hot food like stir fries etc, fruit salad and stuff. I think our snack machines are going soon but the touch people sell freddo frogs constantly, they sell like 1 box a day so we can still get chocolate (yes!)

PS this show is good probs

I read in TV Week today that Jamie isn't even going to be on the show most of the time. He is coming over for the launch and that is it, his off-sider Tobie will be running the show. TEN are just basically using his name because he is well known by the look of it, why not call it "Tobie's Kitchen?"

i know he isnt on it :S
it's good tho

Yeah, it wasn't to bad...

Yeah, I hope it rated well.

1.33 million viewers tuned in nationwide. It came #2 overall for the night... although it didn't help DT/RJ's ratings at all. They rated at 790,000 and 690,000 respectively with a re-run of Law & Order following with only 570,000. Seven News topped the night with 1.34 million viewers.
