I have a theory as to why 'Loose Women' exists. The Government have been making a lot of noise recently about how disabled people should be made to look for work. 'Loose' is obviously intended to get the 'slackers' out of their wheelchairs and into the Job Centres.
It is so stupid and mind-numbingly boring as to defy description. Its a simple recipe: take four middle-aged has-beens ( one a failed soap actress, one an over-the-hill pop singer, one whose only claim to fame is that her husband ditched her as soon as he got famous, and one of whom I've never heard ), give them a glass of gin each, and put them on air. As one would expect, the main topic of conversation is sex. If none of these women were famous, odds are they'd be hard pressed to get any. Every time the word 'sex' is mentioned, the studio audience - mostly made up of hysterical grandmothers - goes into hyper drive. The guests consist mainly of thespians plugging their latest film/play/T.V. show.
But the highlight of each show is a phone-in quiz which taxes the viewer's intellect with such difficult questions as 'In which street is 'Coronation Street' set?'.
Kaye is bossy, Colleen bland, Sherrie ( when she's there ) is loud, as is Denise, and Carol can't utter a sentence without blaming The Government for something or other. They tried Lesley Garrett on the show, without much success. She was too much of a lady to fit in with this dreary bunch. One final thought: we live in an age of so-called 'sexual equality', so why isn't there a show called 'Loose Men'?
