Masterchef’s Whyalla wipeout

Some Masterchef viewers were served a helping of legal drama Law and Order midway through last night’s episode with technical gremlins disrupting the program in parts of South Australia.

The problem affected viewers watching the show on Ten’s regional affiliate Southern Cross Television.

As contestants battled away in the kitchen, the action mysteriously switched to the courtrooms of the US, causing viewers in Whyalla and elsewhere in regional South Australia to miss a section of the cooking program.
