@LimeyThunder I love British comedy more than any other country's- in fact I love British TV in general, but the way they have ripped off 'The Games' is just atrocious. Not only that, but the creators of 'The Games' pitched the idea to the BBC in 2006, but they said they weren't interested, which makes their plagiarism even worse. Hmm... Where could they have come up with such an interesting idea for a TV series? Credit where credit's due, for godsake you're not America
Okay, so it's a British version of a UK comedy. Fine. And you mean to tell me that there aren't shows in Australia that have been based off UK shows?
Borrowing ideas isn't new to the TV industry. Whilst this may use aspects from an Australian show, I think you'll find that the humour is very different. I can see this becoming another UK Office vs. USA Office very soon indeed...
Theres too many people that watch these videos and have never watched an episode but because they are Australian they say it is a rip off of the games
Funnier than the Games. That show ran with one joke for about five minutes! Don't know if it's normal to drag out a joke and tell it about 10 different ways in Australia, but it isn't how we do things here.

The only thing that's good about this series is the actor's performances, but even so- STOP TRYING TO RIP OFF 'THE GAMES'!!

@hatsthemax Sorry, amend my first sentence- a British version of an Australian comedy. My bad!

@medalsaustralia First of all the comedy on this is nothing like the comedy on 'The Games', Get that through ya thick skull.
Now go lose at cricket or whatever you do
