I notice that SBS Food began another screening of BBC food travel show Hairy Bikers Route 66 tonight. It was only shown on the channel only three months ago, because I actually saw the ending while waiting for another program on one night last month, when David and Simon reached the finish line at Santa Monica Pier. Why did SBS repeat a show so soon?
SBS Food does it all the time.
They started screening a repeat run of the last season of “Cook Like an Italian with Silvia Colloca” on a weekend when the series still had a couple of episodes to finish in the weeknight slot. I guess they have a vacant slot and fill it with whatever is available for a repeat run.
They have since repeated season 1 and are currently follwing it up with season 2 so potentially the latest season 3 could be repeated again soon.
SBS Food will show two web series, Eat China and Mean Street Gourmet, later this month as part of the channel’s Lunar New Year programming. Both shows are made by Goldthread, a subsidiary of Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post newspaper group.

Popular segment Ask Adam is back, where Adam answers burning viewer questions, and Managing Editor of SBS Food, Farah Celjo, joins the show to give some helpful tips and share fabulous recipes from the SBS Food website.
Presenter Adam Liaw, says:
“The continued love and support for The Cook Up and everything that it stands for is something I am truly grateful for every day. We’ve had some exceptional guests, stories and food on the show over 400 episodes and I’m incredibly excited to be back for what will be another brilliant season. The Cook Up was created to provide Aussies with real achievable home cooked food that everyone can make, and that also reflects the different backgrounds Australians come from. For Season Four, we’ll have even more chefs, home cooks, comedians, authors, journalists, singers, actors, sports stars, and everything in between. There will be plenty of fresh new themes as well including underrated ingredients, favourite TV dinners and the perfect dishes for dining alfresco at home.”
Emily Griggs, SBS Head of Food, says:
“Watching The Cook Up is like preparing dinner with friends, there’s some laughs and always something new to learn. To be able to celebrate different cultures through cooking is truly something special. We’re thrilled to be announcing the fourth season and know that there’s plenty of recipes to love and try at home.”
An internal SBS production, The Cook Up season four will be available to stream on SBS On Demand with subtitling available in both Arabic and Simplified Chinese afterwards.
The Cook Up with Adam Liaw airs weeknights on SBS Food from Monday February 20 at 7pm. The series is available after broadcast on SBS On Demand. Episodes from seasons one, two and three are also available on SBS On Demand.
So glad that The Cook Up is returning for another season. Fourth season already? Nice. It’s such an underrated show. Although i dont watch the first offering at 7pm all that often, i do tend to watch the repeats that air at around the 10.30pm mark as much as i can.
Adam Liaw is such a natural host.
