For the older members!!

Anyone remember House Party on ITV? It was a group of women who were in a farmhouse type kitchen chatting about current events and household issues, sort of a 60's, 70's informal Loose Women.
Question is, who were the presenters? I remember Cherry Marshall who died a while ago in her 80's but can't for the life of me remember anyone else.
Help anyone I have gGoogled but come up with nothing?

Yes, I remember House Party. I loved it.
There was someone called Ann ? who I believe wrote
a book about sewing. An older woman sat at the
head of the table and I think her name might have been
Mary. Someone's daughter used to appear from
time to time and it might have been Cherry Marshall's
daughter Vida. Sorry but can't remember anything else.

It was shown in the early 70s - by Southern Television.

There is a little bit about it here:

It wasn't Mary Berry was it?

[DuzyEverwork]

Thanks all, I didn't realise there was another series with the daughters. I have had a look who Mary Berry is and she would be just the right sort of person and age. I think the ladies of House Party would be horrified at some of the Loose Women's shennanigans!!

Oh yeah!! I remember it! Didn't they sit knitting + chatting? That takes me back! x

Mary Morris and Ann Ladbury were two of the
presenters.
