Advantages: Funny, interesting guests

Disadvantages: Occassionally infuriating

Ok, this is a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine but whenever I have a day off from work I watch Loose Women as I am eating my lunch

WHAT IS IT:
Loose Women is a lunchtime discussion/magazine show on ITV at 12:30. It's on for an hour and a panel of four women discuss a number of topics as well as interviewing celebrity guests. It is currently on its eleventh series (I think, there have been so many that I have started to lose count!).

WHO IS ON IT:
There is one main presenter would does all of the announcements leading up to advert breaks and competitions. In this series it has been alternating between Jackie Brambles and Andrea McLean but for many of the previous series it was Kaye Adams. Regular guests include: Carol McGiffin, Denise Welch, Colleen Nolan, Sherri Hewson, Jane MacDonald and Linda Bellingham.

GOOD POINTS:
It's often very funny and light hearted watching. It's typical daytime TV fluff really. The panellists often get into quite heated debates about social issues that appear in the day's newspapers. There is some good banter between the four women and they usually bring up some embarrassing story about Carol's drunken antics! Sherrie Hewson is slighty deranged really and often goes off on strange tangents. It's basically like the sort of chat you would get in the post office or in the canteen at work but exaggerated a bit. They often have interesting guests on as well.

BAD POINTS:
Well, it all gets a bit Daily Mail reactionary rant at times which can get a bit infuriating. I've found it doesn't pay to take too much notice of their arguments as they are generally not very good!

Summary: A bit of harmless fluff
