I love this morning , especially when Ruth and Eamonn are on. Don’t mind loose women now and again

Missdeke, when I have been in the Loose Women audience, there's a crazy, funny guy directing us and telling us to whoop. I saw Baroness Lawrence and Karen Brady as well as Ruth who stood in front of me but I couldn't think of anything to say! Kaye apologised to me for blocking the way to my seat. I rarely watch it now because of all the comments posted above. If ironing, I prefer Bargain Hunt, which is pretty boring but better than staring at a blank wall.

Bargain Hunt - I listen to it - and half watch it - if I'm preparing lunch.

Quite like Pointless too.

Bargain Hunt while having lunch and Escape to the Country, which is my absolute favourite of all time. Especially when Jules Hudson is the presenter. I just wish they did more in the north west.

I used to like 4 in a bed but got tired of seeing people looking for hairs in bedding etc !

I ll tell you what I don't like about Loose Women. They get the audience to whoop and cheer if a bloke is coming on but that would be seen as sexist if an audience of mostly men did that if a woman was a guest. Mixed standards or what?!
I like Bargain Hunt and Eggheads.

American pickers

If weary and in need of a rest and a cuppa I will switch on as I like 'the Chase' - it's fast, without too much waffle, and Bradley Walsh is such a brilliant host - and actor! Some people do seem dim when they must have passed a test of sorts to qualify, but John Humphreys said that if he were put into the 'Mastermind' chair, under the spotlight, he would be lucky to remember his own name. It also seems that once people start to 'pass', then they have brain shutdown and can't think of another answer. I feel such sympathy!

I love Tipping Point and the Chase.I have taken to watching the T.V channel Gold in the morning.Gentle comedy from days gone by.Particularly love Last of The Summer Wine.I have given up with the morning magazine programs as nearly all the presenters irritate me.They are all so fond of their own voices.Can't stand Loose Women.

Escape to the Country / Place in the Sun
Pointless
There have been some quite interesting documentaries on the PBS America channel
- and at the moment the Cricket Test Series, although I do love listening to the cricket on Test Match Special on the radio if I'm ironing or doing anything crafty.

House in the Country - a girl can dream, especially at those budgets!

I watch Tenable in ITV+1 followed by Pointless. I was just applying to take a team on Tenable when lockdown started, now one of the team doesn't want to do it anymore. I also watch Say Yes to the Dress on Quest RED and there are some good documentaries too on some of the more obscure channels.

Daytime TV is better than the evening viewing. I have been going out in the garden after 6 till about 9 as it's cooler to do digging and planting.

I like BBC Breakfast, Monday to Wednesday, but have to turn over to Sky News, Thursday to Saturday, when the dreadful Naga is presenting. She spoils the show. Everything is about Naga and how great she is. Her interviewing is, also, very poor. I am not sure how the male presenter puts up with her.
I agree with Father Brown. Brilliant. I think I know all the episodes off by heart, but still watch them.

Hev61 Fri 17-Jul-20 13:57:21

Pointless for me.

Happysexagenarian Fri 17-Jul-20 13:27:58

Impossible and Pointless but I don't watch every day.

Kim19 Fri 17-Jul-20 13:23:15

Tend to watch Jeremy Vine show. As a host he's pretty cringeworthy but they do sometimes have diverse, informed and interesting panellists - not as mixed as Matthew Wright had - and it is usually pretty topical which educates me now that my news watching is pretty non-existent.

Esspee Fri 17-Jul-20 13:18:19

Switch on for the day in time for the news. If we are stuck in e.g. rainy day in lockdown we binge watch series on Netflix or iplayer and the like.

NannyC2 Fri 17-Jul-20 12:28:40

I love quizzes, particularly the Chase.

Thisismyname1953 Fri 17-Jul-20 12:27:59

I sometimes watch This Morning. I used to watch itv early morning but it’s got on my nerves since Covid 19 . I usually like Pierce Morgan and find his rants funny but he’s as boring as the rest of them now so don’t watch it any more.
Cannot stand loose women they are all totally boring , especially Nadia . Though Stacy Soloman and Janet Street Porter could be interesting without the others

netflixfan Fri 17-Jul-20 12:12:45

Oh yes I often watch talking pictures. I record them and watch in the evening.

GeorgyGirl Fri 17-Jul-20 12:06:48

Some of the old films on Talking Pictures on 81 Freeview are wonderful to watch during the day sometimes.

Kate1949 Fri 17-Jul-20 12:06:33

Isn't it funny the different views? I can't stand Lorraine Kelly or Phillip Schofield. I can watch Eamonn and Ruth quite happily smile

mothertrucker52 Fri 17-Jul-20 11:58:47

DanniRae, Richard Osman's House of Games is now on Dave at 7pm

netflixfan Fri 17-Jul-20 11:50:21

I love Lorraine, lose women, this morning, murder she wrote, not quizzes or soaps. I like property progeammes too. And 4 in a bed. Sometimes I just binge on curvy brides or any brides.
I sound like a proper air head! I'm not though, and tbh I hardly ever sit down to watch telly but if I do I love it!!

Brigidsdaughter Fri 17-Jul-20 11:31:00

Escape!!

Quizzer Fri 17-Jul-20 11:30:41

House of Games now repeated on Dave at 7pm. Can't believe how thick some of those celebrities are!
