The Australian version of Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars premieres on Three on Friday, April 5 at 7pm.
However, there is a catch. According to Screenscribe:
Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars (7.00 Friday) pits the profane chef against Australian business mogul Janine Allis to discover “Australia’s most exciting and innovative new food and drink ideas”; it’s being double-billed with Top Guns: Inside the RAF (8.00 Friday), which promises “unprecedented access to the fighter jets, war planes and service personnel” at RAF Lossiemouth.
Australian online guides show that episode 1 is 100 minutes long including ads, and episode 2 runs for 90 minutes including ads. With only one hour timeslot allocated for Food Stars, is it possible that each episode has to be stripped and shown across multiple nights?
Update: the premiere of Food Stars has been postponed, with The 1% Club Australia screening on Friday April 5 at 7pm.
