The Block is an Australian reality television series broadcast on the Nine Network. The series follows four couples as they compete against each other to renovate houses and sell them at auction for the highest price. The series first ran for two consecutive seasons in 2003 and 2004, and was originally hosted by Australian gardening guru Jamie Durie. The first season was filmed at Bondi and the second at Manly. The Nine Network revived The Block after a six year absence, with a third season commenced airing on 22 September 2010, this time hosted by television personality and builder Scott... Cam. The third series again took place in Sydney, in the suburb of Vaucluse. Moving to Victoria, Australia, the fourth season was filmed in the Melbourne suburb of Richmond, Victoria on Cameron Street. Breaking with tradition, season four was filmed in four side-by-side houses as opposed to an apartment block of four. Season four saw television personality Shelley Craft join Scott Cam in hosting the show. The current season began airing in April 2012.
