Does anyone watch* Masterchef Australia*? It's on most days.
In contrast to the UK version, the Aussie judges aren't waspish but they aren't above asking a question which will induce a tear. They give master classes and, occasionally the contestants have to cook outdoors. A camera will slowly pan across a panoramic scene before they all gather. mmm. . .it's even better when hearing bird calls. 
I have watched it in the past, and love the format of their version, also those from NZ and SA. It used to be on the Freeview channel Really, where is it these days LuckyDucky? I don't have Sky, so presume it is on there.
I have watched it when I've been in Australia, in fact I asked a question of John Torode when he did a webchat recently, because I find it a bit raucous sometimes and think some of the judges comments are a bit cruel compared to the British one with Greg and John - with their 
expressions when someone is explaining what they are going to cook!
I did like the one where they went out into the tropical rainforest and, I think, cooked bush tucker, but it was years ago, can't remember what they cooked now.
Must check it out
I will have a look to see what my young friend has been enthusing about on FB! If I can't get it DS will help I'm sure
Don't know if that can be streamed to a lap top that sounds very technical!!
