  1. The Chopping block Australia was a first , and “origina” series by David and Julian, produced by Granada Productions.

    There was a series made in the US of the same name made after the initial Australian series but it was a different show.

  2. RE : About The Chopping Block

    I think The Chopping Block was nominated in the Best Adaptation of an Existing Format because the Show had Franchises in the United States and other countries abroad,Though we all know that TCH Australia is the Original Format.

  3. i agree with Jed, it is rediculous that the Australian peers at the logies and AFI’s don’t like CH. and still award shows like underbelly 2.

    these Asian awards have a much better eye.

    but what is going on with that chopping block nom i was sure it was an original?

  5. How come City Homicide can get nominated for an international award, but can’t get nominated locally? It’s a great show, and Noni Hazlehurst was brilliant in those episodes where her son was killed.
