    im just after watching a clip from the jeremy kyle show where a man was headbutted in the nose by another guest,the reason was the man who was attacked was having an affair with his attackers wife.im not for violence but when you put people in a situation like that in front of an audience and cameras youve got to expect this kind of reaction!?!who wouldnt react in this way?this show is a form of entertainment at vulnerable peoples expense which shouldnt be allowed in my view..here you have a smug little man in a well fit suit with a well rehearsed speech abuseing people verbally and mentally and then sending them to aftercare worse off than when they arrived in my opinion.There are tons of clips on youtube of jeremy abuseing his guests and goading them into looseing there temper and getting obvious self satisfaction from the audience when they laugh at or applaud his actions,what are your thoughts on being entertained at others misfortunes?should this show be banned?haha for **** sake there giving out about animals being in the circus and no one calls for this **** to be taken off i mean there people for christ sake its obviously wrong in my view!what do you think??

    This show is a type of pornography, like Jerry Springer, or Dr Phil. It's about exploiting people who are less off. Look at the typical people on these shows, they are usually people who are out of prison, unemployed, or have addictions, or just wasters, who probably only agree to go on the show for money. Anyone who thinks they would be helped going on a show like this is a fool. Jeremy Kyle is a muppet, who thinks he can solve everybodys problems with a frickin' lie detector test.

    I don't watch Jeremy Kyle or these other ones if I can help it. The storys are all the same origin (cheating/children/violence/drugs). I don't know why anyone would agree to air their dirty laundry in public but I guess most of them are wasters so its basically free money

    i have a morbid fascination with this show i have to say. no one forces them on the show and its not like it isn't on three channels that you aren't prepared for what's going to happen.
    he ony goads the people that deserve it to be fair though. people who actually talk sensibly and make a plan to get their lives back on track he commends and sings their praises....
    and sadly, lie detectors are the only way forward for some people, that and dna tests. some people cant be trusted and are normally proven to be so...

    His radio show (much before he got the tv gig) was just like the show on television only with more hookers than girls who didn't know who their baby daddy was. Guess the hookers are slow to be identified on national tv :o It was actually much more fun to listen to than visualise - I was gutted when they cancelled it!
