The Jeremy Kyle show has been taken off the air!

According to the BBC news a guest died not long after their appearance was filmed, an enquiry will now take place. I think the show should be axed most of the guests aren't very bright and they are encouraged to make idiots of themselves for the entertainment of the public.

Isn't that the generality of - so called - reality tv?

Possibly, but the JK show seems to go out of its way to pick the people who will be totally over the top where idiocy is concerned.


I have just seen the show has been axed, good riddance.

Whilst I think he is way too harsh with some of his guests on the show, I was impressed that he met with a couple of knife-carrying thugs from a London gang recently, challenging them about their lifestyle.

No doubt Kyle was adequately protected by his body guards when he met them.

Yep, he nearly did get attacked though. He also interviewed a woman whose son was stabbed to death all for his watch. And today I switched on the parliament channel and a Tory was claiming that "no young person carries a knife to use except in self defence"

Nearly isn't the same as actually getting attacked!  The person who made that claim is living on another planet!

[Udayana]

Given the apparent popularity of the programme I think I'll stop worrying about the imminent tide of the undead and start worrying about the spreading population of vampires!

If this person's account is true, the JK show should have been axed years ago, it has brought ITV into disrepute. All shows of this nature, which encourage the less intelligent and vulnerable to make themselves look stupid for the entertainment of the public, should be banned.

You're rather too keen on banning some things and making others compulsory for my liking.
