Jeremy Kyle Show: Death on Daytime
The Jeremy Kyle Show was cancelled in 2019 by ITV after 14 years on air. It was prompted by the death of Steve Dymond, who killed himself a few days after appearing on it.
The show was never broadcast. Soon after the cancellation there were comments made by former guests and production crew about just what a bear pit the show was.
How guests were manipulated to make themselves angry or over excited on television.
The production team were always under pressure to find shocking stories and guests that made good television.
The show was described as conflict resolution. Kyle provided tough love and lie detection tests. It was never stated that lie detection tests were unreliable. They were 60-70 percent accurate.
This Channel 4 documentary garnered good newspaper reviews. It talked to friends and family of several guests of the Jeremy Kyle show as well as former crew members.
There was unbroadcast footage of Kyle snarling at the studio audience. He seemed to have little time for addicts and chavs.
The latter is unsurprisingly. Kyle had a privileged upbringing. His father was a long time personal secretary to the Queen Mother. He went to a fee paying school. I guess Kyle knew little about people in actual poverty.
The former though he had experience of. He was once a gambling addict, it led to splitting up with his first wife after accumulating large debts. You would have thought Kyle would have more empathy.
As for the network that broadcast the show. ITV were happy with the gladiatorial format. As long as the show got ratings and attracted publicity, they turned a blind eye as to what happened behind the scenes.
The executives knew just how this kind of television shows were made. They quickly washed their hands off it when Dymond's death was reported. It was a tragedy that was waiting to happen. The surprise is that it did not happen years earlier.
As for this documentary. It was not that good. There was nothing here that was previously published in the newspapers or featured in discussion shows.
The second part was unintentionally hilarious in a Spinal Tap sort of the way.
A padded documentary featuring the tragedy of several former guests. A former drug addict who was exploited by Kyle to make good television. There is footage of Kyle shouting at her and calling her names.
She got drug rehab paid by the production crew but she later relapsed. I doubt the show could be held responsible for that. Kyle's attitude is unedifying though.
