Anthea T has come to save us housewives from housework hell

Advantages: Get lots for your money-8 shows and some fun extras!
Disadvantages: None

...two "hopeless housewives!" fight for the crown (literally-it is presented at the end of the show) by cleaning up their dirty messy homes (dont you just love noseying around other people's houses?!). This DVD is simply perfect if you are unmotivated to clean, struggle with keeping up with the housework or just want to watch some entertaining and occasionally very funny TV. I find this show so inspiring...just seeing Anthea's massive and pristine country ...

Review of The Perfect Housewife - Series 1 (DVD)

When will I be pink?

Advantages: very useful, easy to use
Disadvantages: some of the chapters are less effective...better in a book

...I was aware that in the 10 years since passing my test I had picked up habits and that I would not be able to prepare her for a test. As a student however she could not afford professional lessons and I knew it would be better for her to build up some confidence in my car before retaking professional lessons. Everything was prepared such as insurance, license, L plates and a venue, but something was still bothering me. We went shopping at a local ...
...instantly knew after reading the description that the DVD would help me and would inevitably help my partner in the long run. The DVD described as a 'study aid' was very bright and appealing. The yellow colour was quite attractive on a shelf of dark coloured DVD's. There was an 'L plate' displayed in each corner of the box with a mini cooper. The text stating "fast, effective learning" on the front was another thing that helped me turn it over to ...

Review of The Visual Guide To Passing Your Practical Driving Test 2006-2007 (RETAIL NOT AVAILABLE FOR RENTAL) (DVD)

* Get Fit With Claire *

Advantages: Fun
Disadvantages: Not many!

I used to be a HUGE Steps fan in my younger days! I was mad about them! I had all their CDs , Videos , Books , T Shirts , Scarfs , Posters , Mugs .... if it had a Steps logo on it , I had it. So as you can image I was pretty gutted when they split up. Fast forward seven years and Claire Richards , ex member of Steps , is back on the scene with a fitness DVD which helped her drop five dress sizes! I remember, it was Christmas last year, when the DVD ...
...it was too expensive. I can't remember exactly how much it was at the time , although I think it might have been aroung £17 which I thought was far too much to pay for a fitness DVD. So I decided I would wait. I waited so long that I forgot about the DVD , until recently. I was browsing through the DVD pages on Amazon when I came across the DVD selling for £12.98 ; still quite expensive considering that the DVD is now a year old. However I still ...

Review of 5 Step Fat Attack With Claire Richards From Steps (DVD)

Does Jeremy Kyle really access all areas of quality?

Advantages: Gives an insider view of the popular TV show.
Disadvantages: Bit expensive for what it is. Not a lot more than you would get in a standard episode.

The Jeremy Kyle has established itself as one of the staples of daytime TV today. Since 2005 it has covered interesting and often controversial issues such as paternity disputes (most common), infidelity, feuding neighbours and drug and alcohol addicts. However there are some uplifting issues that they deal with, such as family reunions and rejuvenating torn-down estates where crime and depravity are rife. The most well-konwn feature of the show ...
...at the studio and film Jeremy himself being pampered ready for the recording. The bulk of the 83 minutes of the DVD however I regret to say is not much more than an ordinary episode (though it was made especially for the DVD and has such never been broadcast on TV). There are 2 DNA tests and one lie detector test (I shan't give away the results). When watching this I did feel that the DVD wasn't perhaps worth the £12.71 I paid for it (which to be ...

Review of Jeremy Kyle - Access All Areas (DVD)

If you could package arrogance!

Advantages: Lucy, price
Disadvantages: Fitz, routine, effect

...knew of is the lovely Lucy Benjamin. She's famous for her role as Lisa Mitchell in EastEnders, and was the winner of Celebrity X Factor a few years back. It was great to see her in the Jungle - she'd been away from our screens for too long. I wasn't aware that Lisa had released a fitness DVD, so when I made this discovery I was thrilled. I purchased it straight away, costing me just £2.95 from eBay. It is an extremely cheap DVD, and will cost you ...
...promising, a lovely picture of Lucy on the front, dressed in pink with her flat stomach on show, a Cheshire cat grin from ear to ear. Titled 'Dancercise', I had a feeling this was not going to be like my usual beloved cardio aerobic DVDs, and was keen to find out just what I was up against. The DVD itself brings you up three options, the second being 'workout selector' which allows you to choose the part of the work out you want to do. Though seeing ...
