the audience applauded

Load of rubbish!!

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

I started watching this about 2 years ago, and have loved it ever since! With topics normally quite light-hearted (with the more serious issues occasionally addressed), it gets you thinking. I would say it is mainly aimed at a female audience, although I could be wrong!All the presenters are very likable, with different views keeping arguments balanced and viewers entertained. Coleen is definitely the funniest, with Carole not far behind. It also makes a change to watch something that hasn't been duplicated (like some of the ghastly antiques programmes!) I give it a 9 only because some of the guests are a bit Z-list sometimes, other than that, i definitely recommend watching this!

I have a theory as to why 'Loose Women' exists. The Government have been making a lot of noise recently about how disabled people should be made to look for work. 'Loose' is obviously intended to get the 'slackers' out of their wheelchairs and into the Job Centres.It is so stupid and mind-numbingly boring as to defy description. Its a simple recipe: take four middle-aged has-beens ( one a failed soap actress, one an over-the-hill pop singer, one whose only claim to fame is that her husband ditched her as soon as he got famous, and one of whom I've never heard ), give them a glass of gin each, and put them on air. As one would expect, the main topic of conversation is sex. If none of these women were famous, odds are they'd be hard pressed to get any. Every time the word 'sex' is mentioned, the studio audience - mostly made up of hysterical grandmothers - goes into hyper drive. The guests consist mainly of thespians plugging their latest film/play/T.V. show.But the highlight of each show is a phone-in quiz which taxes the viewer's intellect with such difficult questions as 'In which street is 'Coronation Street' set?'.Kaye is bossy, Colleen bland, Sherrie ( when she's there ) is loud, as is Denise, and Carol can't utter a sentence without blaming The Government for something or other. They tried Lesley Garrett on the show, without much success. She was too much of a lady to fit in with this dreary bunch. One final thought: we live in an age of so-called 'sexual equality', so why isn't there a show called 'Loose Men'?

I never used to watch this show - I'd actually never heard of it. But due to a phase of unemployment, I had to get used to daytime TV. Most of it was rubbish but Loose Women was definitely an exception. They are funny ladies, especially Coleen Nolan, who throws in witty comments left, right and centre. The only one I don't like is Carol McGiffin. She's only on the show because she used to by married to Chris Evans and when she gives her opinion, she sounds like a bitter old woman. She always sounds uptight and because of this I'm pretty sure she hasn't had sex in about 10 years. The rest of the presenters are great and I just loved it when Coleen rounded off the last season with a performance of her classic "I'm In The Mood For Dancing". I don't know anyone who doesn't like this show. Even my granddad used to watch, which proves it's not just appealing to women. As much as I like my new job, I really miss Loose Women when I'm at work.

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.
