Happily married to Catherine, former furniture-maker [name removed] is also Melbourne's most successful male prostitute, with a long list of female clients.

Factual new season: page 23

Today's Choice: Under the Sun 9.00pm BBC2
[Name removed] is a pleasant-looking 32-year-old man, but it comes as a surprise to learn he is also Melbourne's most successful, legal, heterosexual prostitute with more than 1,200 female clients who each pay him £90 for an hour of sex.

Jane Treays has filmed him at work (well, before and after, not during) and talked to him, his clients and - here is the biggest surprise - to his wife. [Name removed] adores his wife and four children, but found that his furniture-making business could not support them. Now he makes £85,000 a year because he is, according to all the female clients interviewed, very good at sex. His wife says she shuts her mind off to what he does while he's "at work", but it must have been hard for her when he rang to say his one-hour booking was being extended - to a whole week.
