watch this show?
I just recently found out that I got BBC America with my cable package and now I'm addicted to this show. My wife laughs at me, but asI told her- I love these two women, they crack me up.
I was just wondering how many Americans watch this show. As far as I know it's ony available on BBC America... is it on any other cable channels?

Dear zig-zag,
There is NO way those houses are FAKE!!!!! Those people really live like that and have had no problem it seems being in such a state.
I can tell you those homes are not dirtied up for the show, people would apply and producers would visit the home. The worst ones got on the show. There is a woman in our neighborhood who's house is beyond description, I think worse than anything you have seen on the show. If Kim and Aggie would like to fly across the pond, boy do I have a house for them.
shareI've been addicted to this show for about two months now. I can't get enough! I've only seen it on BBC America - but it's worth it. Each episode gives awesome tips on how to clean your house (which I do after each episode). And Kim and Aggie crack me up like no other!
shareI, too, discovered this show recently and I love it! In fact, I'm watching the show as I'm typing this. Kim and Aggie are going around London targeting the city's rat problem. I got my girlfriend and my brother hooked on this show as well. Those cleaning tips really do work.
Don't confuse the end of your world with the beginning of mine.
Loved it since it was on Lifetime yrs back!
I'll give him 20 more minutes-and that's it!- Airplane!
Kim and Aggie have been making me laugh every morning for several months now. They are my favorite Bitish duo since Jennifer and Clarissa (Two Fat Ladies). :)
How Clean Is Your House seasons 1 and 2 were just released this week on DVD. Check Amazon.com or your vendor of choice.
A couple years ago Kim and Aggie did this in American homes, I think the show was on Lifetime. I should have realized it was a takeoff of a British original. The British homes are waaaaaaaaaaay nastier than the American ones were.
shareMy grandmother and I watch the show, we've been watching for almost a year now. She says she doesn't want to visit the UK now because of the nasty things she's seen on HCIYH. Especially after the special on rats in London.
shareI first saw this show when I was vacationing in London the summer of 2003. When we got dish network last year, I found it on BBC America. It makes me feel soooo good about my house. Those houses they feature on the show are so disgusting! And Kim and Aggie crack me up! I love those two!

Kim and Aggie made a season's worth of trips to the U.S.A. They found the same kind of filth in the U.S. that they found in the U.K. One is no cleaner (and no dirtier) than the other.

haha yeah i watch it too! i just finished one like two minutes ago
lol my moms a ridiculous neat freak and loves this show. she cant get enough!
I watch every day from 5:00 - 6:00 p.m. Immediately after the show I will clean, scrub and scour like a mad woman - even if my house is already neat and clean!
"FRA-GEE-LAY. That's Italian!"
"I think that says 'fragile', honey."
I agree, i am British and have just started watching the show, on More 4. I am not a slob by any means, but after watching each episode it does pep me up to do the cleaning in my house. I cannot imagine living like these people, the hair, the toilets, the floor! and not forgeting rat poo lol. As a Brit tho, i will say, i don't know anyone who lives like this, so its not a reflection on Britain, just some of its inhabitants.
Here to be cocky on the bb boards
I started watching it when it came on Lifetime a few years a back and was so disappointed when they canned it...then a year ago I also realized they show the British version on my BBC channel and have been watching ever since.The women are hilarious especially Kim and it is somehow so fascinating to see these peoples homes and wonder how in the hell they live like that.

My mother got me hooked on this show. She was enthralled by it because Kim very much reminded her of her mother, who was born in Great Britain. She says that when she closed her eyes and heard some of Kim's expressions, she could swear it was my grandmother talking. I love the show, find it hysterical, and a bit heartwarming when they come back to find a person having maintained the house and truly seeming to turn their life around.
shareI was in an accident and laid up for a few weeks, there is nothing on daytime TV (well there's "The View" which I have been watching for years and all my guy friends razz me about it) But then I found Kim and Aggie at noon and those two just made my day. Kim is hysterical and I was hooked. The one thing that interests me is Aggies germ investigations, it's amazing what is found in peoples homes. The other is the stuff they clean with. I had a stopped up drain, did the salt,bicarb of soda and white vinegar followed by boiling water and it worked! Beats buying all that expensive stuff in the stores and it worked better. I also did the coffee thing on a wood floor of mine that had become worn, that worked too! Sometimes I wish the show had subtitles to translate some things like, Sugar Soap, Biological Powder, and where do they get all those oils? I found tea tree oil and man is that stuff expensive! One other thing, have you notice that every house in England seems to have a stainless steel sink and washing board? Is that a law in England? They still use stoppers too, even in the bathrooms! What's with the electrical outlets? They are huge and so are the plugs. One more thing and maybe some of you can answer this. In the showers, the all seem to have a handheld shower that is connected to a box on the wall, the box seems to have a handle on it and electric running to it. What is that? Now that I'm back at work, we turn the show on in the employees lounge, it's great fun to have twenty people making comments and sounds when they first show the homes. But the best reaction is when Kim sticks her finger in a filthy toilet or they both start smelling things they should never hold up to their face. UGH! It's great television.
shareGood questions, gw-57. I was wondering too. I hope someone answers.
shareThe box in the shower is actually a water heater. We had something similar when we lived in Italy. It's nice because you never run out of hot water!
The electrical outlets are different because they use 220 volt power for home electricity in Europe. (We use 110 volts in North America.)
I also would love to know what biological washing powder is. They used it for EVERYTHING!
It's simply laundry detergent (washing powder) with added enzymes. Gain and Tide powder are biologicals.

Hate to correct you, but it's Britain NOT England. Thank you.
Whats the difference?
