Noel Edmonds was more culpable for a death on his show than Jeremy Kyle.
Noels show was back on the telly within two years.
smudge.....the two events and circumstances are not even remotely the same and do not even begin to correlate one with the other. One was a tragic accident the other a planned cynical ploy, how you can associate the two incidents is somewhat baffling? Did NE tie the rope....no. Did JK personally set up and “deliberately” go out of his way to humiliate and belittle someone.....yes he most certainly did.
Lie detectors are a gimmick Kyle’s program was a poor copy of Springer minus the irony and the host Essentially the premise was to point at stupid people mock them and maybe poke them with sticks Medieval freak show with notional production values There’s no credible defence that participants didn’t know what they were volunteering for The fatality is tragic for the bereaved of course How can the program makers can be expected to identify every vulnerable person and the degree of their distress - it was indisputably an entertainment show - however tawdry - never was it about counselling mental health or anything worthwhile ITV will save a few quid running even more repeats and this twatter storm of phoney recrimination will blow away like so much tumbleweed
They used to do a stunt where Noel spun a wheel and the 'winner' did a carefully orchestrated stunt on next week's show. The stunt in question was doing a sort of bungee whist in a box. Tragically this stunt wasn't carefully orchestrated enough. the box came crashing to the ground, killing the 'lucky' viewer.
Groom members of the public that arent, shall we say, the most clued up in the neighbourhood, by offering em free DNA and / or a lie detector tests, putting them up in dodgy hotels and feeding them, so they expose their sordid personal affairs on day time tv. Then rip them to pieces when they fail the lie detector test which most people including JK, "Graham" and the crew / production staff know full well to be wrong in around 20% of cases. Imo, they're all as culpable as each other, not necessarily for this blokes death, but for eaning a living off the back of show itself.
I've only ever watched it in the past if the clips come up on YouTube as a suggestion when watching punch ups etc., and I can't remember what the topics have been, but the way he bellows at the guests, for whatever reason, I'm surprised he ain't been parked up and I'm genuinely not surprised that this has happened.
Remember nearly coming to blows with a couple of oppos for convincing a young apprentice to text his ex-girlfriend after she'd just jogged him on, knowing full well she was gonna tell him to piss off again, just so they could see his reaction (which was to storm out the cafe in tears and smash his phone up). This show, to me, is no different
Completely irresponsible for Jeremy to go and lose his job. Another feckless unemployed dad leaving his kids dependent on the wife he left. He ought to get his act together and feel bloody ashamed of himself.

Medieval freak show with notional production values
There’s no credible defence that participants didn’t know what they were volunteering for
The fatality is tragic for the bereaved of course
How can the program makers can be expected to identify every vulnerable person and the degree of their distress - it was indisputably an entertainment show - however tawdry - never was it about counselling mental health or anything worthwhile

The other end of the bungee was tethered to nothing.
Erm......I’d say it’s unlikely.

Voyeurism at its worst imo
(Audience applauds)
