Australian broadcaster Nine Network is reviving renovation reality show The Block, it has announced.
The show, in which competing teams renovate then auction off apartment blocks, aired for two seasons before being axed in 2004.
Nine this week announced that a new run of the programme will feature in its schedules next year.
In the UK, ITV aired a UK version of The Block, featuring Simon Cowell's brother Nicholas as a property expert, but it was a ratings flop.
