Premise

Elaine Grand of Tabloid hosted this program on topics geared towards women such as child-rearing, gardening, and homemaking.[1] Various subjects were covered by interviews with experts such as cooking with Eristella Langdon, crafts with Peter Whittall (who later hosted Mr. Fixit), design with John Hall, fashion with Iona Monahan, family medical topics with physician S.R. Laycock, and gardening with Lois Lister. The show also covered more serious topics such as senior citizens concerns, adoption, and drinking water fluoridation.[2]
