The 'MILBOURNE-matters'

All set to start filmimg for Ben's Menu

 

Work has begun to build the set of celebrity cooking star Ben Milbourne's new north-west (Tasmania) based tv show. The set will be built at Ben's new house at Spreyton, Tasmania. Executive producer for the show John Hatcher, Creative Media CEO, wants to create a modern, yet rustic and warm, setting.

"I don't want to make it look like the other [cooking show] sets which are very modern & very cold. " he said.

The set, to be built inside a former apple packaging building surrounded by paddocks with horses & cows, will feature throughout the 90 episode first series which will be broadcast on national television. Mr. Hatcher aimed to have the set ready by mid July, & outdoor segments will be shot before then. Much of the program will be recorded on the road & during visits to North-West & other Tasmanian food producers, focusing on regional fresh & seasonal produce.

Mr. Hatcher also said he would like 10-13 episodes of Ben's Menu to be broadcast internatinally. He hoped Masterchef hosts & contestants would also feature on the show.
