Sorry, no info about the next episode of Aussie Gold Hunters is available yet.
The TV show is either in vacation or waiting to start their new season. When information about future episodes becomes available, it will be posted here.
WA-based Aussie Gold Hunters has ended at 11 seasons following ongoing media scrutiny around its storytelling and specifically state and federal funding as a documentary. Media Watch and subsequent reporting has raised questions around recreations and whether some gold found during filming was authentic.
Last night Media Watch revealed Andrew Ogilvie, CEO, Electric Pictures told staff via email last month, “… after eleven unforgettable seasons, Aussie Gold Hunters has officially come to an end...changing market conditions have meant that Season 11 will be the final season of the series,” the email read.
It comes after Media Watch and The Guardian repeatedly raised concerns about the show's authenticity and whether some of the gold being dredged up was real. This led to questions about whether the show was eligible for state and federal funding as a documentary.
In July, The Guardian claimed a would-be thief in a recent episode appeared to resemble one of the show's producers.
In April, Media Watch said a “poacher” who featured in one episode was in fact the series producer, Michael Dye. Mr Dye said he had no choice but to participate in the “recreation” because there was no one else available. The end for the Discovery channel series comes despite ScreenWest and Screen Australia standing by their documentary funding processes.
