Funny sarcasm from the narrator which tries to make it a tongue-in-cheek show but it has its seriousness when dealing with domestic health. I rated it poor for value for money as I doubt many people would watch the dvd set that often.
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?!).

Advantages: Fun and entertaining to watch Disadvantages: If you have Series 1 Perfect Housewife, this Christmas episode is already included
Christmas can be a stressful time for everyone, but especially if you're the one that is doing the Christmas dinner and decorating the house. Thankfully AT has come to the rescue. As usual, Anthea T always keeps it simple, which I really appreciate, especially at this time of year when everything seems chaotic and frantic!
Her sound,practical advice in this Christmas episode is sure to get you through this stressful period and actually enjoy it! Following the layout of her "PerfectHousewife" series,in this single episode DVD she shows you how to display Christmas cards,stuff a turkey and wrap presents just to name a few! A word of warning-if you own the PerfectHousewifeSeries1DVD you will not need this DVD as the Christmas episode is already on there. ...
