Loose Women | 21 Years Old - Sept 2020

Now they've a James Martin series at 2pm would make more sense to just stick Judge Rinder at 12.30.

Is there much call for a cooking show just after lunch?

Currently, I start preparing dinner about half an hour after I’ve finished eating lunch, so yes! #snacking247

That's a very good point!

I think they really have to look at alternative programming if they are running out of shows to broadcast. As mentioned before Judge Rinder would be a good option.

I’m not sure why they aren’t looking at older shows they can broadcast with the previous set designs rather than airing shows with out of date topics or repeats of repeats they’ve already shown last week.

They should go way back, people love a bit of nostalgia in times of crisis

It’s a bit lazy of them to leave in the competitions on the repeats. Surely they’re easy to edit out?

Are they airing full episodes then rather than highlights stitched together?

Easy, but not essential .

It's Loose Women. Nothing about it is essential at any time. Doesn't mean someone can't cut out the unsuitable content from home before airing it.

Considering the constant on screen disclaimer surely it is essential, in compliance terms anyway.

I'm using the term 'essential' in the context of the pandemic and the effects it has on ITV Daytime. If resources are tight due to the virus, editing a repeat of Loose Women is not going to be considered priority when a strap line will suffice.

It's much the same as the argument "couldn't the UTV announcers provide their continuity from home?". The boundaries of what is deemed important are temporarily limited, and just because something is possible it doesn't mean it will necessarily be done.
