I'm with you there, flip_flop, ITV daytime viewing figures probably took a nosedive.
I mean, who wants to be confronted with real issues when Shona is still caght up in the kangaroo incident, and Judge Judy is about to issue judgement on whether Zak should pay back the $400 that he insists was a gift - oh, and don't forget whether ("boo, hiss") nasty Anne Robinson took the p**s out of whichever contestant.
And they interrupt this quality programming for images of ruffians and oiks - (I bet you most of them are unemployed) - running around and attacking our great British Bobbies...... (at least that's what The Daily Mail informed me)
