Ah nuts, would've liked to see it.

Adelante

Yea I just flick over about ten minutes into it, it was like hang on that your one from Corrie on the stage and than they panned and there's Nick, David and Tina on stage.
It was something like "my ex slept with my brother"

And you have to hand it to them they played it well, it was good even though I cant stand the show itself, its desperate, I thought are your serious are things that bad of a Friday they resorted to showing that on prime time, still and all it was amusing,won't be a regular anytime soon mind

Good on ya MistyCheese score, what did you think?

MistyCheese

Ah it was pretty good, everyone seemed to have their answers ready and at hand. Were they quick on their feet or was it rehearsed?

I thought the audience reactions were good, they must've filled the pews with non Corrie watchers, the "oohs" and "ahs" added to the realism.

Yea its a good question, I haven't been followin Corrie recently but I think there is some storyline Tina kissed Nick or something, maybe someone on here will clarify, so in that sense they may have had some pre rehersed lines from the script off Corrie and adapted it for the Show either way they pulled it off.

Breaking a leg. Watching a burglar shoot your cat. Eating a punnet of vomit and faeces. Unpleasant experiences all - but none, surely, is quite as unpleasant as grimly chewing your way through an entire edition of The Jeremy Kyle Show (weekdays, 9.25am, ITV1).

Officially, it's described as a "confrontational talk show in which guests thrash out their conflicts, dilemmas and relationship issues in front of a studio audience", although that doesn't come close to capturing the flavour of it. That just makes it sound like Trisha, the show it's replaced. It isn't like Trisha. It's worse. It makes Trisha look like a dainty philanthropist's tea dance.

The key word in that official description is "confrontational", because Jeremy's USP, you see, is that he's unafraid to hurl abuse at his hapless idiot guests. So when some greasy bi-toothed, boss-eyed scumball is guffawing about how many times he shoved it up his girlfriend's mother, Kyle shouts something like "you amoeba of a man!" The audience applaud, the chav is humbled, and Jeremy seems secretly pleased.

In other words, everything about The Jeremy Kyle Show is completely and utterly horrid, starting with Jeremy Kyle himself. At first glance, he looks like a cross between Matthew Wright and a bored carpet salesman. Harmless, you think. But then something draws you back for a second look, and this time - ugh!

I mean, look at his eyes. There's a spine-chilling glint to them - it reminds me of the "shimmering pupils" effect used in Russell T Davies' The Second Coming to denote which characters were agents of Satan. Not that I'm saying Kyle himself is an agent of Satan, you understand. I'm just saying you could easily cast him as one. Especially if you wanted to save money on special effects.

You know that weird "thing" about Nicky Campbell? That indefinable "thing" that makes him ever so slightly creepy, like you wouldn't want to get stuck in a lift with him, because you half suspect he might suddenly pull a Stanley knife from his sleeve and start wildly slashing at you with a terrifyingly blank expression on his face? Well Jeremy Kyle's got that same "thing" about him, but amplified by a factor of 12.

Every time I see him, it's like someone's just walked over my grave. I'm starting to think it's some kind of premonition. The spirit world is reaching out, trying to warn me that Jeremy Kyle is somehow destined to kill me. I'm not sensing the word "murder" - chances are it'll be an accident. Yeah. That's it: next week I'm crossing the road and bang - Kyle's vehicle inadvertently mows me down as it carries him en route to his **** and awful show.

Brrr. Just typing this makes me shudder. Look, if I'm found dead in the next few weeks, can someone tear this out and hand it to the police?

I'm veering off-topic. Back to the programme itself, which is infected by a curious linguistic virus: everyone in the studio uses the phrase "on national television" at least five times per minute, meaning the show consists entirely of exchanges like this:

Seacow: "Oh, so you're admitting, on national television, that you cheated?"

Baboon: "Ha! I can't believe you can sit there on national television, and accuse me of that - on national television!"

Satan: "Woah, you two - is this any way to behave on national television?"

Do they always talk like this? If an argument breaks out in their kitchen, do they say things like, "I can't believe you're telling me this now - in the kitchen". Well?

Actually, perhaps they're just trying to remind themselves where they are. After all, sitting there with Jeremy and his iridescent pupils glistening before them, confronted by a studio audience so ugly they'd make John Merrick spew down the inside of his face-bag, the poor sods could be forgiven for forgetting they were on national television and starting to believe they were somewhere in the bowels of hell instead.

As, indeed, could the viewers at home.
