Loose Women

I have every respect for womanhood, but this part of it really does take the biscuit. Bad enough when the awful Kaye Adams (Surely 'Hayley' from Coronation Street's sister) was on it, it descended even further into the tripe stage with her departure (She's now taken to mentioning 'her baby' every five minutes when she guests on 'Countdown'). Awful over-the-top laughing at anything only slightly amusing, crap items about the 'ex' (incidentally, on that score, I agree with everyone who says McGiffin only got the job because of 'her' ex, Chris Evans) (wonder what took him so long?), wrinkles or 'the top I bought a Woolworth's' etc etc provides a dreadful hour on the telly. The programme makers ought to be ashamed of themselves, but of course even though it makes money for them, they probably can't stand it (Remember Gerald Ratner, anyone?)and head to the boozer whilst it's on. The quality dramas that used to be on in this slot with fine talent have been swapped for...this? I only gave it a 'one' because there isn't a minus - 1.

Remember that episode of the Simpsons when the the family got cable TV? Marge and Homer were arguing about it, until Homer persuaded his wife by showing her "The Estrogen network", which was a network just for women. As he flicks the channel, it shows a women's talk show called "Afternoon Yak". A woman in the audience stands up and says "Men" and everyone on the show boos loudly. Loose women is the equivalent to this. Take a group of women with about half a talent between them (who'd have thought speaking to camera was so difficult?) and let them try to speak about current affairs. One of the women is only on this program because she's Chris Evans's ex wife. Another used to be on Brookside, then went on Celebrity Big Brother and is now either a singer of TV host. Another was (I think) on Pebble Mill years ago. Funny thing is, I can't remember any of their names. If you make the mistake of turning on your TV when this show is on, do yourself a favour and watch the news on BBC1 instead. You'll learn something new rather than feel your brain turn to mush.

This is a dreadful daytime television show that's not worthy of being on ITV1. Most of the presenters are awful and most of what they talk about isn't worth saying. Complaining about men, gossiping, boasting about themselves and going on and on about things that aren't important.

The title is grossly misleading. The presenters aren't slutty and the show isn't about casual sex.

The only reason that I haven't given it 1 out of 10 is that it occasionally has good guests.

The woman don't seem to understand the complete and utter sexism towards men on nearly every episode. Hypocritical presenters...all of them. Zero talent between them.

Literally 4 women, who happen to be absolute drips, sitting on a panel gossiping about absolutely nothing.

Any slight attempt at humour is met with hysterics and wooing from the audience.

Honestly, it's over the top drivel that baffles me as to how it's been on air for 20 years. Awful programme.
