Love those little differences in our common language...!
Your "Prime Minister's Question Time" is our "Presidential Press
Conference".
Ours sounds so stiff and formal; yours sounds like it could be a
children's
television program.

Then again, the process by which a crime victim may try to pick out his or
her attacker from the midst of several other people is called a "Police
Lineup" over here. Rather like the title of a 1950's-era crime drama.
You Brits refer to the same process as an "Identity Parade"-- which sounds
ever so much more festive!
Conjures up visions of smiling, waving thugs trailing marching bands and
majorettes, and people tossing confetti from floats...
