Loose Women | 21 Years Old - Sept 2020

Nice to have mentions of Loose Women past & present yesterday.

The panel mentioned Janet, Stacey and Christine in their anecdotes then when Sherrie was a guest they spoke about Lynda Bellingham & Jackie Brambles.

Jackie Brambles always seems to be paid dust when it comes to anniversaries and yet she was at the helm when the show really hit its stride. It's her tenure as host which saw them win the NTA (although she'd already left by then).

How long did ‘Loose @ 5.30’ last for?

Two weeks. I believe it was only intended to have a two week trial run as a bit of filler as ITV had suddenly lost Paul O'Grady but ratings were so bad (ISTR 600,000) it had no chance of coming back

Is it available to see anywhere?

Jane McDonald back as a guest tomorrow

Has anyone noticed how unflattering the lighting has been recently? There's something not right about it.

They’re all just getting older.

None of us are getting any younger, but even relatively young guests (male or female) don't look great in the current lighting.

Why is Jackie Brambles being left out?

Possibly her own choice and doesn’t want to take part/has moved on/prefers family life - delete as applicable.

I can’t imagine a reason why the producers wouldn’t want Jackie to be involved. So, I guess it’s of her own choosing. Mind you, we’ve still got two days left this week. Maybe Jackie will appear on Friday.

I have to say, I was very disappointed with yesterday’s Jane McDonald appearance. Not because of Jane herself, but the other four just wouldn’t shut up and were talking over Jane and over each other for practically the whole segment.

Jane has some incredible comic timing, as we all know. Every time she attempted to show it yesterday, someone cut her off.

Shame. For me, she’s the best Loose Woman ever. But she was hardly allowed to speak yesterday.

I agree about Jane's interview yesterday. The 'interview' doesn't seem to have had any planning whatsoever. It was all over the place.

They really should have had some of the hosts leave the table like they sometimes do on The View. Nadia kept chipping in and I don't think she's ever worked with her. An odd decision to have Nadia on every day this week by the way.
