Absolutely not ! Sounds ghastly No British woman would think to accept advice or copy like that. When she was on trial we did get shown clips from her programmes, just to give us a clue. That's why I couldn't understand why she was rich. It would neverwork here. It must be something peculiarly American that she has.The only people making things on our TV are doing so in children's programmes .What she was doing reminded me of the programmes we had in the 1950s when we still had rationing and had to use our imagination to do decorating etc with limited materials

What we do have is fashion and cosmetics advisers on TV, giving make-over advice to volunteers.And we have celebrity cooks, like Jamie Oliver. These people are specialist professionals with flair. Make-over shows for homes were a fad for a while but not as successful as those for gardens. Now our morning TV is all about home buying. The most popular show is 'Homes under the Hammer' on buying property at auction: we see the properties, the auction itself,all with informed commentary, and what the buyers make of renovation.Some buyers make elementary beginners' mistakes, some turn out to be hardened developers, some are average, all are instructive in one way or another and the show has human interest too.Programmes on valuing, buying and selling antiques and collectables, like 'Antiques Roadshow' (which has been running for thirty years), have long proved popular too.

I agree, of course.
The idea of co-ordinating everything is just not very appealing. Compare British Country Living magazine to the American version. The British edition is more snapshots of the way the British live, including articles on rural issues. The American version is more concerned with how to present a room.
The British style is very eclectic, but when US editions try for that look, it somehow seems contrived.
Thank goodness there is no British equivalent of Martha Stewart.

Rudy Giuliani cant be right.

Top US people known in Pakistan maybe among them

Bill Clinton
Bush
John F Kennedy
Michael Jackson
Madonna
Muhammed Ali
Bill Gates
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Mike Tyson
Andre Aggassi

any maybe even Elvis, Hillary, Nixon, Sylvester Stallone, Sharon Stone, Catherine Zeta Jones, Tom Cruise , BayWatch and 'Bold and the Beautiful' cast and some professional wrestlers.

How much things may have changed since I have been abroad, I dont know.
