I think you are living in left over world - “DOWN UNDER” . You saw Australian version and later saw the Indian version to say they did the EXACT copy. What about the Australian version ???. Initially, it was started in US, then it moved to UK, Europe, Australia and then ASIA. It is not copied by anyone. It is the worldwide copyright of the company ENDEMOL which has partnership with Indian copy “SONY” for all the reality shows. Hence you see all the reality show - Indian Idol, Big Boss etc which are customized to suit the indian audiences. They did the same in Australia too. You said all the setting, colors were same. It’s because it’s done by the same company - worldwide.

Most of the shows what you watch in Australia are either COPIED(your word) from US or from UK. What do you say ??.

Buddy,
Now any shows have worldwide copyrights and it CANNOT be copied. The copyright holder make sure that he gets his profit by sharing his show worldwide.

Do reaserch from which country did the “Friday Night Live” started and compare with the Australian version to say EVERYTHING looks same ??. Well, for Indian audiences, it new reality show and they will enjoy it . They are not concernced whether it the ORIGINAL script was written here like the Australain audiences. People like to have fun to watch different shows.
