I'm a big fan of the American version of Lego Masters. That show really does feature some of the best Lego builders and most knowledgeable judges. The host is excellent, too.
The UK version is very amateurish, with less talented builders, low quality hosting, and the entire production feels cheap and underwhelming.
It's a mistake to pit kids against adults - the competition could never be fair - and creates a huge variation in the standard of builds. The youngest competitors are about nine years old, while the oldest are in their 40s.
All in all, this is a very inferior show to the American version.

I love Lego and was expecting more artistic creations which seem to only happen during the final round. It's still interesting and I like the variety of ages. The one super irritating part is the host, Melvin who each week butchers the English language which is a pet peeve of mine. You would think that a prime quality one would look for in a host would be literacy. He can't pronounce a myriad of words. Sentences like "Fink Fings Froo" (translation - think things through) and "Moddo" (translation model) and worst of all was his pronunciation of squirrel which was quite a "struggo". Come on now...you guys invented the language, the least you could do would to be learn how to speak it.

I watched this before I saw the other versions like USA and Australia and thought from the start it was missing something. The presenter is just cringe and the masters are a bit flat compared to the English lady in the American version. Yes the focus is more on the LEGO but it's just very lacking, surely there are loads of great builders in the UK and better presenters that have an interest in LEGO. It would be great if they followed the same format as the other LEGO masters shows as I was interested in what was going on and I never once picked my phone up in any episode unlike the UK version as I got bored fairly quickly.

This review is from a 6yo boy who enjoyed Lego Masters Australia but not that much the Lego Masters UK.
The show is lack of structure and the teams are random ages who compete and don't see the point.

Compared to USA one best pic you will find it more about lego.
This one is like not drama more a bake off for lego masters.
You win and because you love lego not for money.
If I wanted money and see Hollywood stars go on USA one.
If I wanted win lego competition and learn about construction go UK.
