Anyone watching? I'm speechless. I really don't get it.

I liked Kay Adams, but had this misfortune to watch 10 minutes the other day, for the first time in a long time, and regretted it. They reminded me of one of the school mum's cliques I avoid twice a day. Not for me.

Cllauida Winkelman and Miranda Hart got on really well on some Comic Relief thing. I think they'd be good together.

I love Sue Perkins and Sandi Toksvig too

JamieComeHome · 16/12/2011 18:23

sorry, should have said "TV equivalent" of Womans' Own, since Woman's own is also visual . Derr ....

Yourefired · 16/12/2011 18:36

Dream line-up: Sandi Toksvig (chair), Susan Calman, Jenny Eclair, Jennifer Saunders, Sue Perkins with male guest Jeremy Clarkson.

I think it has had its day and should be axed but dream team should include Germaine Greer.

mrswobblebottom · 16/12/2011 19:32

I saw todays episode, was ironing and needed something to watch (feel have to justify!). It was especially cringeworthy, Sherrie shrieking and interupting while hanging from ceiling, had to keep muting it. At times it is reasonable TV when more serious topics are discussed but today the audience sounded like hyped up loonies. Sherrie being ultra ultra fake ditsy and having a go at Janet at every opportunity makes it embarrasing to watch. Funny it was brought up today cos I was thinking the same.

LineRunnerCrouchingReindeer · 16/12/2011 20:02

Ah thank you brandysoakedbitch

Can I add my verdicts in bold

Jane McDonald - professional northerner Indeed, once a cruise singer...
Coleen Nolan - just a dreadful dreadful embarassing to her children awful woman Vomitesser
Sherrie Hewson - loopy Portrait of Miss Haversham in the attic?
Lyna Bellingham - oxo Takes herself rather seriously, luvvy-wise?
Carole McGiffern - i would like her more if she stopped mentioning chris evans And 'Her Mark' who will fucking leave her in 2012
Andrea thing - i cannot dislike her but then i cannot dislike trees A sweetie, and she's not Carol Voldermort
That other one who sings - is that that zoe one because if it is i cannot stand her at all Yes!!
The one off of The Bill - the tiny one who mentions she is tiny a lot and has a child named Beau Yes!! You are seriously good at this!
Denise Welch - drink sodden trollope Fifth amendment
Janet Street-Porter = I like her even though I know it is wrong Tick
Jenny Eclair - nice funny lady Tick
Cilla Black - horrid horrid horrid Tick
Stacey Solomon - harmless but common Tick
Jackie Brambles - she is ok i guess Tick
Vorderman - smug as a smug thing Tick but I want to have her dismembered live by a zombie Brian Cox.
Kay Adams - liked her, where is she now? Tick
Sarah Millican - much too funny to do that show Tick
Sally Lindsay - no no no Tick twice

Not that I watch Loose Women

I also used to like it when it was first on, but now it does my head in. Unfortunately it is on when I have my lunch, so I still tend to have it on, but I zone out of most of it now!

I also enjoyed Light Lunch; it was required viewing when I was off school sick when I was 17, and it was also on in our common room too. Have had a girl crush on Sue Perkins ever since! I just saw this piccy of her today clicky; I am very happily married to my DH but that photo makes me want to do naughty things to her Xmas Blush

As for my ideal lunch time line up, I would like a mix of funny and intelligent, so:

Sue Perkins
Mel G
Jennifer Saunders
Dawn French
Sandi Toksvig
Kirsty Young

Bloody hell, I can't think of any other intelligent or funny women I can stand who are reasonable role models for impressionable teenagers bunking off school

magentastardust · 16/12/2011 21:09

At the moment it seems to be where corrie actresses go to die.
Today's offerings were particularly awful I hate all the false slapstick stuff that goes on with Sherrie. The Xmas tree thing went on about 10 mins too long.
I don't mind Janet street porter, Jenny eclair and I thought Kate Thornton was ok on it.
Cannot stand little botox face Lisa or cilla black -Sherrie is too annoying it's had it's day by a long shot.

Sparklingbaubles · 16/12/2011 21:11

Sue Perkins hosting HIGNFY now!

Sue Perkins is fab. Funny and intelligent. Ditch Loose Women and bring back Light Lunch.

Sparklingbaubles · 16/12/2011 21:35

That would be brilliant carer but alas it will never happen. I am ditching Loose Women-today was the final straw. I will eat my butties in silence. Grin

I like Joanna Lumley, too. And Sue Johnstone.

Sparklingbaubles · 18/12/2011 19:53

Yes, agree Line. LW must be on borrowed time now. It's time for something new and sensible (ish).

LadyBeagleBaublesAndBells · 18/12/2011 19:53

I think Kaye Adams as a rather good journalist, left when they started dumbing it down.
I like Jenny Eclair and JSP, but appearing in this shit they've rather sold their souls to the devil.

Sparklingbaubles · 18/12/2011 19:56

Yes i liked Kaye Adams. It did seem vaguely sensible way back when. It is now just screeching/innuendo/more screeching. The guests look embarrassed and it's just awful.

I saw Kaye Adama on a prog re Scottish and English, she was a bit of a nasty peice of work, cant stand her. Never got mel and sue either, far too smug
