Filmed in Aussie right?

Hubby and I used to watch the Aussie version when we lived in New Zealand. (I hate to say this but it was way better)

Anyhoo I noticed that the children singing, and the children shorts are the exact ones from the aussie show. And the props are the exact same, as well as the clothes. Even JubJub's voice is the same.

Is this show filmed in Aussie to save money? (BBC owns the discovery channel)

It's probably much cheaper to send 5 people over there than it is to ship the props here. :)
