Female friendly panel game Page 6

Behind you.

Laughing out loud

Ah yes, the "Girlie Show." That was embarrassing, even for girls! But what is a "female-friendly" panel show anyway? And why are ordinary panel shows not female-friendly? I don't watch HIGNFY or MTW and wonder why there aren't more women panellists making jokes about handbags or whatever. Although I love handbags as much as the next woman, I also love chocolate, Millwall, Barbie dolls, quantum physics and astromony, and vampires. Who is going to make a panel show that appeals to me?

A good team would be Sue Perkins who is fast, the quick witted Sally Phillips and Ronnie Ancona who is extremely knowledgeable.

Sue Perkins is great on Just A Minute, the last episode she spoke for the whole minute without being challenged. Sally Phillips was funny when she was on 8 out of 10 Cats. It would be good to see Sally on more panel shows and Ronni Ancona has been on QI.

Josie Long I think would be good.

The whole concept is unecessary.
All panel shows are just as female friendly/unfriendly as they are male friendly/unfriendly.

Glad I've cleared that up for everyone. ;)

Radio panel shows tend to be more female friendly. TV panel shows do seem to be more laddish and boisterous.

Yes - but you're not a typical female are you.

If I had to think of something that women are into, how about celebrity? But surely that's been done already.

Celebrity Juice. Holly Willoughby and Fearne Cotton are the team captains.

P.S. Anyone remember the Girly Show? All female programming at it's finest.

With or without Tracy Jordan? :)

I can't remember, I only tuned in to see a bit of cock.

Who she?

Ah I think Aaron was alluding to the 30 Rock thing, the Girly Show, when I meant the Sarah Cox laddette abortion the Girlie Show.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh I see. :)
