Despite doing modestly well for a ten-part run in an early evening slot on Sky Living, the programme was not picked up for a second series. Two years later, Channel 4 would revive the series for a 30 episode commission in the 5pm slot occupied by [[Come Dine with Me]] and going head to head to head with [[Pointless]] and [[The Chase]].

The scores in your living room are just the starter to a number of rounds at "kitchen HQ". Various elimination tests determine one eventual champion.

Synopsis

Make a restaurant in your own front room. Then take more difficult challenges to determine a winner.

Split into regions, four couples host a dinner party in their own front room. So far, so Come Dine with Me. They're joined by professional judges, and set strict time limits for each course to appear.

The judges both score each course (starter, main, dessert) out of 10, and the fellow couples score the night as a whole out of 10. The week's highest score wins, right? Wrong.

My Kitchen Rules Prue Leith and Michael Caines judged on Channel 4.

The scores in your living room are just the starter to a number of rounds at "kitchen HQ". Various elimination tests determine one eventual champion.

Trivia

A huge success in Australia, My Kitchen Rules is shown on Sky Living as an imported show. Living made a domestic edition in 2014. It wasn't renewed - perhaps because Sky changed its strategy and only imported shows for Living.

Channel 4 acquired My Kitchen Rules for a six-week commission. It went out in the 5pm slot occupied by Come Dine with Me - and opposite Pointless and The Chase.

Sky's sponsorship office sold the show to sponsors:

"Amateur cooking couples with a real flair for cooking will first have to compete in their homes to see who can whip up the most mouth-watering dishes. The judges will then put couples through a series of more complicated challenges catering for the public before facing elimination 'cook offs' in the studio."
