Jeremy Kyle show, heavens to betsy. A perfect protagonist, a very silly woman with a (highly unspecified of course) 'drug' problem and a tolerant, supercilious, properly educated thanks to the system teenage daughter. Do people get any benefit from this stuff? It's very superficial and evasive. Now they are going on about whose nipper people are in reality. It's all very distasteful.

The man's a ghastly bully, and the whining victims are hand-picked to match. He's made it though. No one short of the monarch would say no to JK's bank balance, exposure or address book. Reply to this message | Report message

However low rent the show is it does highlight the scores of dysfunctional families out there. Kids having kids by multiple fathers, few of whom work and many on drugs or in and out of prison. The frightening thing is there is a long waiting list to go on the show. A classic was a girl a few years ago screaming at her friend's boyfriend, "I can prove we had sex together, I've got witnesses who saw us coming out of the toilet together..."

>>The man's a ghastly bully, And that is my entire objection to the show. The lowlifes can make themselves look stupid with the disgusting lives that they're so proud of if they wish, but he is a sanctimonious, patronising bully. I quite often watch train-wreck trash TV, usually US, but that show is a step too far. Actually several steps too far. I live in hope that he will get his comeuppance.

I wonder if he's as obnoxious in real life. I don't think I've ever heard any comments about him. Reply to this message | Report message

Pure exploitation of the 'underclasses' (Quote from PC Copperfield in 'Wasting Police Time'). As for being a bully, that's easy surrounded by Security. He did a gig at the Army School of Transport near here which was ok. Reply to this message | Report message

>> I have never decided what's more depressing, the show itself or the thousands who watch >> it. More like millions! I like to watch an episode before I visit ALDI/LIDL/Morrisons/ASDA. Helps me understand the behaviour of the 'mouth breathers' that seem to habituate those places. Not that I'm denigrating in any way the produce there. Ostrich, gammon joints and venison are delicious. SWMBO raved about the recent coconut ice-cream and many of our staples come from them. Reply to this message | Report message

A friends's gf went to one of the shows. Very much king of the castle whilst on set, shall we say. Reply to this message | Report message

I'd be temped to get myself on the show, walk on, flatten him with a sucker punch and get the words "there, broadcast that you smug git" out before the bouncers jump on me. I'd be a national hero. Last edited by: Zero on Fri 25 Sep 15 at 09:15 Reply to this message | Report message

Kyle is a self confessed former gambling addict. Watching the Cheltenham festival on TV a few months ago I was surprised when the camera picked him out in the crowd. Reply to this message | Report message

Kyle is merely copying Jerry Springer - originator of schlock LCD TV shows of that genre. Vile stuff for utter morons. Reply to this message | Report message

Gervais lived in Staverton Road. Or the one next to it, I can't quite remember. I was a debt collector around there at that time. Not the most restful or pleasant job. Plenty of customers though. Reply to this message | Report message

>> Rather you. Me too. I have regular professional contact with bailffs etc. I can only imagine the pressures they are under to perform but people who, properly advised, would make payments of £3-£4 a week get pressured into offers in the tens of pounds or more. Inevitably they cannot keep up and the bailiff is back again with more debt added for fees. Reply to this message | Report message

Ah yes, forgot about her. Tilehurst though. Practically Wales. Met her Dad in a pub once (The Retreat, for locals in the know). He moaned about her not caring for her old man much since she got all famousized, but was in general decent company over a pint or 7. Reply to this message | Report message

Went on a management development course in early noughties. One of the exercises was about exploring office disputes - the sort of stuff around avoiding difficult clients or missing the post rota that cropped up everywhere. A group chose to act their scenario out in style of Kyle (or his US precursor). They actually did it very well indeed.
