When it began, the series was filmed in London in Studio 3 at The London Studios. 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, moving to Anglia's Studio 2 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 (2005, 2007 and 2009). The show enjoys high viewing figures in its daytime slot, and, since 2007 (Series 11), has aired all year round, with only a short hiatus at Christmas and a longer 'end-of season' break in August. Of the five weekday shows, Monday, Tuesday and Thursdays are broadcast live, whereas Wednesday's and Friday's shows are pre-recorded the evening before at 5:30pm. This is due to time and cost saving measures and also so that the studio can be used for other shows.
