I think Jeremy Kyle plays a character called Jeremy Kyle and has a couple of personas.
He has had an investigating reporter series,which are nothing like this show,he is a complete different character.
In the real day to day world l doubt he is anything like the bloke you see on tv.

If he is, then he needs to be stopped. People's mental health cannot be dealt with by a persona.

It's been scrapped:
No tears shed here.

I just wonder how many of those saying this is good news,which apparently also includes the Prime Minister have actually watched this daily ,it appears hardly any.
This was a good audience grabber for ITV ,just not to everyone's taste, but a lot of programmes are like that.
Don't recall anybody screaming for it to be axed last week.
Nobody was forced to take part after all,they went into the show knowing the format.

But what they didn't know was what actually goes on back stage. It's a very manipulative programme. There's plenty of stuff on the internet about it.
And why the question about people wanting it axed when they don't watch it? Of course we don't watch it. I saw it once, decided it was glorified bullying and never watched it again. Why would I?

Because it seems people are piling in saying dreadful programme, who would go on it and so on.
But no one was saying that last week.
Have never sat through it either, but l know it existed,so it has gone, not bothered one way or another.

Are they wrong to say it is a dreadful programme? No, it was. And people were saying it was a dreadful programme, except, as far as ITV were concerned, it was successful daytime television. When they first pulled it, ITV’s chief executive, Carolyn McCall, told staff in an internal email that the decision to halt production was “not in any way a reflection on the show”. She said it was the “ best way we think we can protect the show and the production team from the reaction we expect to this death”. I cannot, and could not ever get my head around the fact that it was seen as good television and that it was ever commissioned. This article was published ten years ago.

I'm sure a lot of people are like me and don't give the programme a second thought until it's brought to their attention. I'm really not sure what point you are trying to make, Geoff. Are you saying it doesn't deserve the pile-on? |

I caught half of one episode once Never watched it again. Think it's a good decision.
But I would ask .... why does it have to take a death before "an independent review of the duty of care ..... to participants" is undertaken. Does no one on the commissioning board of these channels have any foresight?
And if someone will only believe you after a lie detector test ..... where's the belief? The trust? The love?

Good. I too am glad it's now off air permanently. It glorified nasty behaviour, just like the Jerry Springer Show. I remember seeing Springer being interviewed about it (I think it might have been on the One Show) and he was utterly bemused that people found it entertaining.
I don't doubt that Kyle is a very different person in reality, but then that begs the question about why he took the job in the first place.
No, Geoffers, I have never sat through a whole programme straight, but I have tried to conduct interviews for my job in people's houses where the TV has been on in the background and all you can hear is this acrimonious shouting matching. People don't like being asked to turn their tv off! I quickly learnt not to suggest it.

I come into contact with vulnerable people through work. Many who are deemed to have capacity to make their own choices, wouldn't realise the risks involved with appearing on a programme like this. Yes, I have watched the programme, it was nothing but bullying. No I didn't continue to watch it. And anyone who knows me in the real world will tell you that it isn't only during the past week that I've heaped criticism on this crap. I never shut up about Jeremy Kyle and Britain's Got Talent for exploiting the vulnerable. I've never watched Love Island so not commenting on that. Basically, for me, they could ditch all reality TV with the exception of Strictly, Dancing On Ice, the cookery/baking programmes (even though I personally hate cookery programmes). They're a damn site healthier than the Big Brother and "wash your dirty linen in public" type of reality.
