The UK version only had four episodes. The next series will have 5. It’s not going to be an epic show like other Reality programmes.
Thought this would have been on ABC Kids channel
A very odd commission
I only have 3 words to say “everything is awesome!”
Yep this could have legs, depends on how long they make the series though as the UK one was 4 x 45 min episodes only with series 2 to have 5 episodes. I think that is a crucial part of it and why in the UK it was one of the most popular peak-time series in the 4-15 age group, not too long to have them distracted away and of course is good for Lego.
Something about it is enticing and even had me think next on the agenda should be Kevin McCloud presents Grand Designs: Lego, guess the inner child is still sparking inside this 57 year old male.
A bit too niche I would have thought for a primary network channel
Done well, and with a good host, this could be a sleeper hit.
