Video Description
"You need to treat your housework as if it is a paid job" Anthea Turner, The irrepressable Perfect Housewife, is hell-bent on sweeping the homes of the nation clean as a whistle!

Since the decline of domestic science disappeared from the school timetable the art of housekeeping has been lost to generations of young people. But help is at hand! Anthea Turner, The Duchess of Domesticity, has swept the nation with her no nonsense approach to running a comfortable, clean and well ordered home as she shares her tips on how to become a PERFECT HOUSEWIFE. This DVD collection features all eight episodes of the first series of PERFECT HOUSEWIFE. Each programme features hapless home makers who need a helping hand from the queen of clean to find the nest that has been lost in a cloud of clutter.

This 2 Disc DVD offers hundreds of helpfull and eye opening tips from the Queen of Clean herself...

Anthea Turner is the perfect housewife and the ultimate domestic goddess. In her stunning home nothing is out of place and everything is perfectly organised. In this series she's going to set out to try and re-educate the nations self-confessed incompetent housewives. Each episode Anthea will mentor two hopeless housewives. She will invite them to visit her mansion for a housekeeping course, in which they will learn skills needed to become a domestic goddess, and so will you! Our two women will then return to their homes with their new found knowledge to try and put it into practice. At the end of the week they will host an event in their own home and Anthea will judge who will be crowned `Best Housewife of the Week'.

Synopsis
The complete first series of the popular BBC series in which the 'Duchess of Domesticity' Anthea Turner dispenses her advice on how to become that domestic goddess.

5.0 out of 5 stars fantastic motivator, 10 Aug 2007
By Mrs. R. S. Prescott "Ruth" (Liverpool,uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have bought this dvd allong with Antheas book and for the average "messy" person there are a lot of hints and tips e.g. creating a memory box meaning only keeping things that really mean everything to you not keeping every birthday card you used to get(like me!!).the dvd's are a good visual motivator because you can see bits of other peoples houses and realsie thats exactly what you need to do in yours.
I'm halfway through decluttering my house and considering I thought I didn't have much clutter it's quite hard work but I can see the benefits already.my cleaning takes a lot less time in the rooms decluttered and I have time for more important things. A lot of Anthea's tips I find very useful like sort your post out as soon as it arrives if possible because it will clutter up the house.The DVD's are full of tips like this if you are of average "messyness" then the DVD's are geat go the whole hog and buy the book as well!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent - fun and informative....., 29 Jul 2007
By E. Scott (Crete, Greece) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I live abroad and kept hearing reference to this series so I thought I would treat myself... Half way through the first DVD I pressed pause and started cleaning and organising.
I would definitely recommend to anyone as, even for the houseproud housewife, there is lots to learn.
The only negative thing I could say is that I can't believe she has any free time if she cleans her house all on her own !!! It's massive....

4.0 out of 5 stars In the eye of the whirlwind, 10 Sep 2007
Anthea Turner is repeatedly described as a 'whirlwind' as she storms the nation's dirty, cluttered homes armed with baskets, labels and a feather duster. I watched this pen and paper in hand and noted lots of useful tips, not all of which are in the accompanying book. If you have to do something, such as the washing-up or towel folding, it's just as easy to do it the right way as the wrong way and Anthea will show you how. Her energy is infectious and has motivated me to get on with my own homemaking projects. On a different note, I was impressed with how Anthea manages to do housework without chipping her elaborate manicure and also how many clothes she has - she never wears the same coat twice. Only not five stars because I felt it could have been more instructive if it was in the format of (for example) a traditional cookery programme rather than the tired old reality tv format of 'let's watch as someone's life is transformed.'
