The Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson was tonight's guest on The One Show (31/07/09). While famous for many things Sarah has always been known for her red hair.
But red-haired Brits do complain of abuse - from mild taunts to persecution.

On tonight's show Mitch Benn asks whether we are living in dangerous times or if our fears, hyped by the media, are getting the better of us.
There are daily headlines about the threat to our safety from swine flu, terrorists, crime, sunlight, toxins in our food and much more.
But Daniel Freeman Clinical Psychologist at King's College suggests to Mitch that we've lost perspective and are living in fear of events that are in reality unlikely to happen.
As Mitch reflects, the fact is that in general we live longer, eat better, exercise more, smoke less and die less frequently from diseases that used to be automatic killers.
So, share your stories here, are we too worried about living to enjoy ourselves? Are we too concerned with our health and safety to live life to the full?
Lucy Siegle met the Environment Agency's crime team in South Wales, and found out more about fly-tipping.
The unauthorised dumping of rubbish costs taxpayers over £150 million every year to clear up, says the Environment Agency.
Your local council can now fine you if you have not taken care to ensure that your waste is passed on to an authorised person.
Environment Agency: "As a house holder or business you are responsible for what happens to your waste even after it has left your premises. You must pass it on to your local authority or a waste carrier registered with the Environment Agency. If you do not take reasonable steps to do this you could be prosecuted which could lead to a fine of £5,000."

Demonstrators' video footage, and their complaints that police were violent during London's G20 protests have reignited the debate about the police's role and methods.
As Anita Rani said in her film about the challenges of modern-day policing: "When police tactics that seem to hark back to a tougher era hit today's headlines, something inside us seems to recoil.
"There's a conflict between our desire for a no-nonsense police force that keep the streets safe and our disquiet at the reality of controversial police tactics."
The Policing Pledge was mentioned in the film, as was the idea that as the police have become more accountable to the public, they've become less effective in their dealings with criminals.
In the age of video mobile phones and the internet, are police under too much scrutiny to do the job properly?
Should they be given more leeway and allowed to "get on with it"? Or is scrutiny necessary to prevent police malpractice? Share your experiences and stories here.

It's been reported that Dr Denis Walsh, associate professor in midwifery at Nottingham University, has said: "Pain in labour is a purposeful, useful thing, which has quite a number of benefits, such as preparing a mother for the responsibility of nurturing a newborn baby."

So, mums, was the pain of childbirth "beneficial", as the male doctor suggests?

This week it was revealed that scientists in a lab at Newcastle University have managed to create artificial human sperm from stem cells.
This breakthrough has massive implications for people facing infertility and single women who want to start a family.
Although fraught with medical and ethical problems, the creation of artifical sperm raises the possibility of women having children without the need for men.

Recent research reveals that the proportion of Britons who are obese has doubled in the last decade from 11% in 1999 to 23% this year.
So we sent Christopher Biggins out to ask "is it OK to be fat?"
Comedian Ricky Grover said to Christopher that "size discrimination should not stop people from achieving their dreams and ambitions. We need to accept fat people."
Cardiff journalist Hannah Jones said: "People in this country are fat phobic but I am proud to be fat. I am fed up with people staring at me when I eat a pasty - people eat pasties - Get over it."
But the experts at the NHS say: "Obesity is fast becoming one of the developed world's most serious health problems. Being obese can take up to nine years off your life and make you far more susceptible to diabetes, heart disease, stroke and many other conditions."
