Loose Women Annoying Panel

(54 Posts)
Allsorts Tue 05-Aug-25 14:14:24

Every now and then I put Loose women on but frequently irritated by different members of the panel. Today, Mariella Frostrup, she who is always right, talking over people and making statements with which I find no supporting evidence. Cutting across others different views. No empathy with the public and problems they face. Perhaps that's the problem, just out of touch.

I don't like Mariella Frostrup. My daughter met her and she was very rude 😒

A shame as I always consdered Mariella very professional. She always reminds me of Honor Blackman and even sounds like her.

Truly awful load of screeching women.

I think it should be 10 minutes long then when they are introduced they can clear off again. Excellent idea.

I was in a doctors waiting room with my dad the other day when Loose Doctors was on. They were demonstrating how to do a vulva exam with mirrors, squatting with mirrors! I get the importance of checking yourself, my best friend died two years ago from vulva cancer, but I was literally cringing. Surprised at the Muslim doctor taking part, i would have thought this sort of carry on would be a no no for her?

Ghastly programme full of ghastly women. Especially Colleen Nolan and Denise Welch. Nasty pair.

I tried watching it an£ find it ghastly; all these screeching women, never really listening to each other , etc. Bah, humbug!

More and more I find this is real life, sadly.

How JSP with all her experience and knowledge can bear to appear with such vacuous airheads beats me! With the exception of Jane, none of the others is worth listening to. Ruth’s ‘clicking’ when she starts to speak really gets to me. Has she got false teeth? Colleen is a man-mad mess, Kelly is nice but boring, as are many of the panel members. I do love Sue though, although she’s not often on. Too intelligent, possibly.
I have mentioned Welch on another post, but she really gets up my nose. I wish she’d disappear and take her wretched boy -band son and cradle-snatched husband Lincoln, with her! Dreadful woman who gives women a bad name!

I have no TV by choice, so I got it on YouTube some time back.

One episode, not sure which one, but they were discussing marriage/relationships. Colleen Nolan was banging on and on about her multiple husbands and partners, her love life, or lack of, had her little hanky tucked away in her eyes....

Two divorces for Nolan and 4 for Janet Street Porter!

Crinkworthy! And JSP that always looks like she's about to leap on you and start gnawing at your ribs!

I switched off LW and never watched it again!

I went before Covid to be in the audience. I was alone so usually got a front seat. No idea why. A runner was escorting me to my seat when Kaye Adams was blocking my way. She apologised and I found her very polite.

StoneofDestiny Wed 06-Aug-25 23:21:26

Stopped watching years ago - the worst was the Colleen Nolan woman - never stops talking about her sex life or lack of it and even her son’s sex life. Ugh. As for endlessly talking about her sister’s illness/death but somehow makes it all about her! Well passed the sell by date

Many years ago I used to watch it regularly…. Haven’t watched it got to be at least 4 years ago….By the way who is Marirlla Frosup ?

I record it and then watch the beginning to check if there's anything or anyone of interest on the programme. Nine times out of ten the answer is no and I delete it.

I have absolutely no interest in listening to mostly poorly educated, dim, badly spoken women talking e.g. about a political news item which they obviously don't understand.

The only people who have the background careers that warrant my interest and respect of their knowledge and opinion are Janet Street-Porter and Jane Moore.

A friend got tickets to be in the audience for LW years ago . I went with her and the only interesting woman on the panel was Janet Street Porter . During the ad breaks JSP was interacting with the audience, asking questions and chatting . The other women were on their phones and checking their makeup . JSP was also asking intelligent questions to the guests .

I think it’s a dreadful programme. I stuck about 10 minutes of it once, years ago, and that was more than enough for me.

I saw that episode too and Mariella even managed to shut Janet Street Porter up!

I don't watch it anymore, load of rubbish, how it wins awards I'll never know

I don’t know it but with a name like Mariella Frostrup - that just cannot be real. Someone’s having a laugh.

Well known in the 90s I can’t really remember what for? Maybe radio.
I don’t watch telly.

As Denise Welch is constantly complained about on here, and in other places, why is she still on the panel? I never watch if she is on, and nor do my friends. Get her and her big mouth off the screen please and give us all some peace.
You might get some viewers back then!!

Astitchintime Wed 06-Aug-25 16:26:15

I wouldn’t waste the time or electricity watching such drivel!

Juniper1 Wed 06-Aug-25 16:18:45

Loose Doctors was good today

madeleine45 Wed 06-Aug-25 15:30:11

Life is too short to waste time on this. Have much better things to do with my time, whether it is getting on with a job, or twiddling my thumbs!

LaTroisette Wed 06-Aug-25 15:05:30

I always liked Mariella Frostrup. Perhaps she was just dumbing down and trying to fit in.

Caro53 Wed 06-Aug-25 14:37:02

I like it probably because I have sadly lost my 3 female best friends so it gives me the chance to watch a good natter. And I like Denise Welch. Can’t stand Kaye Adams tho. She constantly interrupts everyone.

Grandmotherto8 Wed 06-Aug-25 14:35:52

Daytime TV no thanks, daytime radio for me.
