Loose Women | 21 Years Old - Sept 2020

Yes. TC2 was described as one of the 'small' TV Centre studios when BBC Studios and Post marketed them. (The other small studios were TC5 - which was latterly a sport buy out, and TC7 - a news buy out).

I suspect the US equivalent shows come from studios more the size of TC3 (and 4/6/8 ), which were described as 'Medium' and which were the homes to comedy panel shows with audiences - but TC3 is now split in half (one half for This Morning, one half for GMB)

Just for a little reference, at the other end of the day, the NBC late night talk shows are produced from very small studios compared to The Graham Norton Show and The Jonathan Ross Show here in the UK.


Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon is made in Studio 6B in New York, which is only 3,690 Sq Ft in space.

Late Night with Seth Meyers is made in Studio 8G in New York, which is only 2,280 Sq Ft in space.

Compare those to shows to The Graham Norton Show and The Jonathan Ross Show who both use TC1 at Television Centre in London, which is huge in comparison at 10,800 Sq Ft.

The View's studio was much smaller before it moved to its present home.

Yes - the US daily talk shows are very 'compact'. Couple of chairs, desk, host chair and small audience (and sometimes a compact house band), compared to the UK weekly ones.

Having seen both Seth Meyers and James Corden being recorded, the latter has a bigger studio space than the former.

Slightly off-topic but Brenda is doing White Christmas in the West End from November to January so I’m guessing she’ll be taking time away from Loose Women to do it.

Nice to see Stacey back on the panel.

Nanny Linda is returning to Loose Women. Good news!

I have to say, those pod extensions they use to accommodate a large number of guests look utterly hideous!

I guess they are quick and easy to assemble, but they look very shoddy. And not even consistent with the frontal appearance of the main desk. Surely you can do something a bit better than that, ITV? I know it’s rare to have 4 guests at one time at the desk (in this case, Ronan Keating and Boyzone), but it doesn’t look good at all.

Anyone have any idea when/if Linda Robson is coming back?

She's returning in the new year.

reference?

I know it to be the case.
