Tim Ross' new show tackles architecture without the snobbery

I guess it just seems a highbrow passion for someone known for making easy jokes for the masses on commercial radio.

But in this series about Australian architecture, he's able to combine that subject with his radio DJ sensibilities to create a show speaks to a broad cross-section of people - not just those who geek out about buildings.

Unlike some other architecture-based shows, Ross doesn't bring a snobbish attitude.

Case in point - one example of Australian architecture he praises is the humble school demountable. He's not being sarcastic either; he genuinely thinks it's worth celebrating.

Yes, he does show off some fancy houses too. But they're houses that genuinely look good, compared to those selected by other architecture-heavy shows that I wouldn't live in if you paid me.

When you're in the public eye, having a show about you tagged "secrets of" is never a good thing.

When the makers of said show decide it has to be a two-part series, it's even worse - it means your secrets are so many - or so awful - that one 90-minute show isn't enough to cover it.

Now, Prince Andrew's "secrets" dealt with here aren't actually secrets at all. The series (this is the second episode) covers his involvement with the notorious sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and claims he provided the Prince with under-age women for sex.

One of the women, Virginia Giuffre, appeared in that infamous photo next to the prince, his arm around her waist. In a lawsuit she alleged he raped her several times.

The case never went to court - the prince settled for a multi-million dollar figure (with money that likely came from mum) rather than testify under oath.

This second episode focuses on the prince's trainwreck of an interview with BBC Newsnight, where he was interviewed by Emily Maitlis.

Through interviews with Maitlis and Newsnight producer Sam McAlister, we get a fascinating look at their efforts to get the interview, their disbelief that the prince actually said yes and the preparation for what became an award-winning piece of television.

It's still surprising that Andy - and the Royals - figured this was a good idea. It showed a lack of understanding of how deep a hole the prince was in.

He clearly felt he could just talk his way out of it; that as a Royal, he would be accorded the same respect and sympathy the Royals had so often gotten in the past.

But he wasn't. While, Maitlis was respectful, she didn't shy away from asking difficult questions. And, using her years of interviewing experience, gave the prince enough rope to hang himself.

This is a largely uninspiring series about the truth behind the food we eat.

Tonight they spend half the show investigating the wax put on lemons so they look shiny.

I can honestly say I have not spent one second of my life pondering the story of lemon wax.
