As far as I know, the original episodes of The Mint (australia) were broadcast live from the Maidstone Studios, Kent, hence the set was the same.

There has been a bit of a hoo-ha though over the credit sequence as ITV Productions didn't give them permission to use it - bit obvious it's the UK version - look at the Transit's reg plate. Also KPM aren't happy as they didn't ask them for permission to use the Library Music they are using as beds, theme and underscores.

Good old Channel Nine!
That's amazing that they've completly used our format for the entire show except for the Presenters and obsvilly changing the £ sign to a $ sign... and the phone number of course! Woul'dnt it had been better for them to do the show in Australia and have an Australian themed opening?

Well it would've been I suppose, but AFAIK Nine are having some financial problems at the moment.

I have been told by a friend in Aus that during broadcast the other night the 'ITV Productions' slide appeared at the end of the show after the credits. Apparently it was presented by Beverley French and Brian Dowing!! Oops...
