What on Earth 到底怎么回事儿

I'd like to know if, to ask how much a book costs, I can say 'What the hell is the cost of this book?' or 'What on earth does this book cost?'

In today's Question and Answer of the Week, we find out if expresssions we often hear in Hollywood movies are suitable for use in everyday conversation.

Neil and Helen explore situations where 'what the hell' and 'what on earth' are used and examine the appropriateness of each situation. Do you know when you should use these phrases?
