    A couple of weeks ago, we had a wide-ranging discussion of various T.V.
    series including some that went through a U.S. of A.'ian 're-boot'.

    One of those series was, I think, "The Office" .... and, tonight, I see
    we have the Premier of "The Office Australia" which I've recorded
    because I'm busy watching "Line of Duty"!!

    Yep, Australia also does a lot of lazy remakes. Mostly of UK quiz and
    reality shows where the Australian version uses an obnoxious and
    loud-mouthed host (like the US versions), making it unwatchable garbage.

    New Zealand also does a few remakes, again mainly of UK quiz and
    reality shows, with similarly awful hosts, but due to the tiny
    population and therefore miniscule number of contestants, they
    thankfully don't last long.
