Been following this for a few years now and it just gets better with each series.

The new series starts tonight in Oz, should be up for download around lunchtime tomorrow for anybody that wants to give it a go.

The idea of the show is a groups of 2 person teams (in this series 5) work together to build a whole apartment from scratch. Each team has their own apartment area of one huge complex. This series the building is an old glass fronted office hence the title Glasshouse.

Each week the teams are tasked with building the same room in their apartment they then get judged by a group of 3 judges as to who did the best. The team that does the best wins extra money to use in the renovation. Each week for 1 day the teams are also taken away from The Block to do a design challenge this can also get the teams some extra cash or some kind of advantage during judging.

Its a very well put together show

    Guess that is a no then lol....

    First episode off to a good start, found it funny that all the teams guessed that they were not in a TV studio and were on The Block before it being revealed.

    What channel? Is it the OZ version, I used to watch that on Home or one of those channels and it was quite good.:)

    Yes its the Oz version available via the wonders of the internet.

    This is the latest series only just started in Oz so if you want to get involved only 2 episodes to catch up on.

    This series the teams also have a 4th judge to contend with..... eachother.

    They will also get the chance to score their rivals which could end up being car crash TV

    Ratings have been mediocre to poor this first week. Last night's figure was quite low. It's the 2nd series this year. We'll have to see how it settles down in coming weeks, but the Nine Network may be squeezing the life out of it.

    I do enjoy it but know 2 series a year for most is overkill.
