Begrudging judging of televisual fudging

MKR’s Fiedel and Evans

Any reality cooking show fan knows that there is a fine art when it comes to judging these programs…

However, Dr Mumbo can’t help but think that Justice John Nicholas who presided over today’s legal stoush over whether Nine’s The Hotplate is too similar to Seven’s My Kitchen Rules definitely found himself well out of his comfort zone.

Justice Nicholas was first forced to ask how many hours of television he would be required to watch (answer: around four hours, although you hope they will take out the ads) before telling the court: “I won’t say I will gladly do it, but I will do it if you ask me to.”
