Issue 31-32, April 2004 Renovating Reality TV By Ian Buchanan © all rights reserved Real estate today has become a form of yuppie pornography. - Marjorie Garber, Sex and Real Estate The Block was Australia's hit TV show of 2003.

Australian made TV drama has meanwhile delivered its worst ratings performance in years, virtually guaranteeing The Block will not only be repeated but cloned as well. David Castran, the managing director of Audience Development Australia, explains it this way: "recent world turmoil has brought people closer to home to focus on what they control" such as the colour of the dining room wall and the type of turf you sow in your backyard.
