The best aspect of the Australian version is the host, Todd Woodbridge. Instead of sticking to the banal format of his UK counterpart, Todd connects with his contestants, getting natural reactions and encouraging interaction with members of the audience. He's a natural before the cameras, somewhat similar to the legendary Bradley Walsh on the UK version of 'The Chase'.
In some ways, the audience, present only in the UK version of the show, is a negative. The machine appears to be a dumbed down version of the original. Look at the front top row and you'll see that the tokens are partially over the edge. In the UK show, the top front tokens do not protrude past the edge.
Personally I enjoy both versions while working on the computer. Neither measure up to the original version of 'The Chase' but they are a pleasant background amusement.
