Dons_1988 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 As much as this is a good thing, it's hardly the only talk show or similar show that exploits people in similar ways. If this is the route they're going down then surely there's a wider discussion to be had. Unless this is just ITV trying to make this go away quietly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I don't think I've watched anything on ITV since Supermarket Sweep when I was a student. Even reading the tv listings for its shows leaves me feeling grubby. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Nooka Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Hopefully Love Island is next for the chop but that's a ratings hit so not likely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a scummy show as well, probably worse than Jezza Kyle for the fact it has far bigger impacts on the audience, Kyle just made the people on it feel like shit 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Love Island is also an ITV show. Don't see a good reason why Jeremy Kyle should be axed and not this, given that two of its former contestants have committed suicide following their apperances on it. Both shows are ratings hits for their respective slots but undoubtedly Love Island is more lucrative for them and therefore won't be cancelled. Another case of selectively taking the moral highground from ITV. Pretty awful, really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverton End Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 There was a 15 minute segment on Channel 4 news last night about the Kyle show, one bit that stood out was that Kyle show researchers would slyly ask possible participants what medication they were on, if any. If they were, all the better. One guy said they basically wound him up for 3 or 4 hours beforehand, for maximum impact on the tv set. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is though that given it was such a short time after appearing on that Jeremy Kyle show, it was easy to apportion the cause as being the appearance on the show.For Love Island, the suicides weren’t exactly straight after the show finished so there is nothing to say that was the cause of the deaths. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman Hessian Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 the 'disappearance' of the Jeremy Kyle show will be about as long-lasting as the demise of the News Of The World before the Sunday Sun made an appearance - it'll be back under a slightly different name ('The Show - with Jeremy Kyle' or something similar) by the end of the year, latest - anyone who thinks that a commercial enterprise like ITV are going to permanently bin a money-making product just because of a bit of faux-uproar and a 'tragic' death that's little more than free publicity is naive in the extreme 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Love Island, the suicides weren’t exactly straight after the show finished so there is nothing to say that was the cause of the deaths. The Jeremy Kyle episode in question hadn't even had the opportunity to air. Maybe appearing on the show was the catalyst for the person's suicide, maybe it wasn't. I doubt we will ever know. I'm not defending the Jermey Kyle show, but it's hypocritcal to bin it entirely over this whilst another has seen two suicides in the aftermath and will go ahead in a few weeks time. Not to mention other "contestants" uttery panning the post-show support they received. The time elapse after Love Island is I rhink relevant as the show propels people to fame (unlike Jeremy Kyle). That must be a tough thing to deal with. Edited May 15, 2019 by Michael W 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things like Love Island are just the natural consequence of shite like Big Brother. Society was long fucked before Love Island appeared. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I think it's just when you started paying attention. 99% of TV is absolutely braindead drivel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
