The Show

Scheduling, setting and viewership

The series airs five days a week, although only three shows (Monday, Tuesday and Thursday) are broadcast live. Two shows (Wednesday and Friday) are recorded in the evening and broadcast 'as live' in the lunchtime slot.

When it began, the series was filmed in London. After the second series in 2000, the show moved to a Manchester studio and was briefly re-branded as "Live Talk". In 2002, "Loose Women" returned for a third run and by the fourth series a year later, it had moved to a studio in Norwich. For series six in 2004, the show returned to The London Studios where it has remained in Studio 3, although the set has been updated three times. The show enjoys high viewing figures in its daytime slot, and has gained a cult following, particularly among students.^{[citation needed]} This article is about the capital of England and the United Kingdom. ...

Leading host

Although all four women are classed as presenters in the credits, one acts as the main anchor, linking to breaks and competitions and addressing the television audience.

Kaye Adams filled this role for the first ten series until the end of 2006, when she left to go on maternity leave. For most of Kaye's maternity leave, fellow panelist Jackie Brambles filled the role as a guest host, although she herself had time off due to maternity leave. As time went on, it was revealed that Kaye was enjoying life spending time with her family and was undecided as to her return. Adams was still expected to return for a new series, but in August 2007 she confirmed in her newspaper column that after 7 years, she decided that she wanted to move on to other projects and would not be returning.^[1] During Kaye and Jackie's maternity leave, several ladies took turns to fill the anchor's seat, including former panelists Carole Malone and Ruth Langsford and current panelists Carol McGiffin and Denise Welch.

Kaye Adams and Ted Robbins anchored each show with two more panellists, sometimes both female but usually another male and female. The other panellists included Sherrie Hewson, Jane McDonald, Carol McGiffin, Coleen Nolan and Denise Welch from the Loose Women team and former Loose Women guests Jason Gardiner and Jeff Brazier.

On 17 June 2008, comedienne Joan Rivers was a guest on the show and made an error by not realising that the show was completely live and not recorded. She appeared to believe that the producers would "bleep" her swearing and said the words "fucking shit", referring to film star Russell Crowe, which subsequently went live to the public on ITV at approximately 1pm in the afternoon. The co-hosts immediately apologized for Rivers' little outburst and during the commercial break she was asked to leave the set and not invited to come back for her final segment. is the 168th day of the year (169th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... 2008 (MMVIII) is the current year, a leap year that started on Tuesday of the Common Era (or Anno Domini), in accordance with the Gregorian calendar. ...

An editorial decision was taken that Joan Rivers should not appear in the final part of the programme. We would like to apologise to Loose Women viewers for the inappropriate language used on today's show."

Rivers, for her part, finds it all quite funny.

"I said: 'I apologise.' Everyone apologised. It was hilariously funny," she says.

Joan adds that this was the first time she had been removed from a TV show in 40 years and she was "thrilled".
