Grand Design Australia

I'd have to say I'm a fan of Grand design, a show about the more expensive side of Architecture. I find that he show itself draws upon a strong style of Architectural language, that attempts to part that information and focus. It is an interesting insight to the way projects are managed and the way that they battle the odds.

Now, with that in mind, think of what would happen when you translate that to an Australian Version. I'm sorry to say it, but honestly they've lost the mark and the point of the show, from phallus doorstops, to crude language.

It falls into the same realm of Australian Iron Chef, and Australian Wipeout. Just plain rubbish, they totally miss the translation from the original.
