Jeremy Kyle Now...

[Bbbananas]

For once, no swearing, no nastiness, just a big lad with a huge smile..

[Bbbananas]

JK normally enrages me, but this episode is about disfigured or deformed children and public reaction to them.

It is not mawkish or a deliberate pull at heartstrings for the tv, JK is genuine and excellent with the kids.

Makes a change to smile at the programme.

[Duncer]

Nothing he could ever do will forgive him for what he is. Sorry.

[Bbbananas]

I like the guy. His usual 'guests' leave a lot to be desired though.

[mccfluff]

lol, why on earth does he need forgiveness, what a weird comment

[andres]

Who needs forgiveness?

[Bbbananas]

I wasn't going to ask.... !!

[kylesmum]

I recorded it as it makes my life seem 'normal' !
I was at the Dentist and believe it or not I survived ! Why do I do lose sleep, shake with anxiety only to sit here and feel smug afterwards :/

I think JK has a genuine human touch with adults and children who have had mountains to climb.

I'm at a loss as to the 'forgive' comment also, the majority of those people actually benefit from the proverbial kick up the a*** he provides along with the after care team.

[hc4361]

Aftercare team - yeah right.

It's cheap, car crash tv that makes a showing of the intellectually disadvantaged. Exploitative freak show for the enjoyment of those who like to feel superior.

[carrust]

You'd have a job feeling inferior to most of the people on that show. Having worked with some of the underclass, what they show on JK is only the tip of the iceberg!

[hc4361]

The programme is neither informative nor entertaining - it's very similar to Victorians paying to look at the lunatics in the asylum.

[kylesmum]

Can I ask how you formed your opinion hc4361?

[hc4361]

By watching the programme when I had relatives to stay who insisted on watching it.

For a whole week. How else could I form an opinion?

[kylesmum]

Thank you hc4361...you could have left the room however ;)

When I posted about it making my life appear normal, that's just what it does. We all have crosses to bear in daily life, i'm glad i don't feel the need to air them on TV.

I admit there's times I cringe but going back to Bbb's OP i still maintain he shows extreme compassion to children and adults who have faced and continue to face challenges in their lives.

[Duncer]

Kyle is an odious exploitative little cretin who pretends to tell the truth as he sees it, but only with a phalange of bouncers right beside him. As for empathy; do me a favour?

Dreadful TV, and a good few of the people on his "show" are proud to air their ignorance. I work with them and they are quite open about it. They find it funny, and it's a free trip with complimentary alcohol thrown in while they get their Warholian fifteen minutes.
