1. Going to London doesn't make them "feel" important. It is part of their job. Researchers, producers and programmers put their heads together and decide what news topics will produce ratings. The wedding must have polled high among 25-49 year olds (their key demographic)...budget debates - not so high.

2. Shopping channel hosts don't do much ad libbing. They say what sells - and what their producer is telling them to say in their ear. Phases like "treat yourself", "Mother's Day gift", "Madison Avenue", "apple picking and pumpkin patch" may bore us sily, but they sell product.

3. They wear what they are told to wear. Their hair is styled as the producers see fit.

Talent may be the "face" of the network that we watch and relate to - but they have very little imput over the product.
