I thought the first couple of series were good. As i remember they didn't let one subject hog the whole show and there was a lot more fun and humour which would suit Helen down to the ground.
The series before this I was not as impressed with as they are getting a tad to serious me thinks. Alison was on then and although she was ok whenever i bothered to watch I thought Alison was much quieter than normal and a bit out of place.
If they start dwelling on "Deep" thought provoking subjects then I think a fun loving person like Helen will get isolated from the conversations. To a certain extent she was today i thouight. I could here her little voice (Yes it was little today
) piping up but the others were so full of there personal wisdom regarding George Best and his partner that Helen was side lined to an extent.
Loose women need to remember the title of the show and loosen up a bit. Helen could give the entertainment value to what has become a watered down version of question time
