I caught this on TV this morning, and although I hadn't seen this for ages, and I think remember last time I watched for a couple of minutes, I said I would never watch again. I gave it the benefit of the doubt, and had this on in the background while I was writing, and I will not watch this again.

This show is on Channel 5 Mondays-Fridays from 10.30am-11.30am. So roughly the show is 42 minutes long as it has 3 adverts breaks in it. It is a Show presented by Trisha Goddard. This show is the same type of format as Ricki Lake, Jerry Springer and Jeremy Kyle. So we basically have an English Man with a discussion show, and Trisha, who is an English Woman. I don't think Trisha is quite as condescending as Jeremy Kyle, but after just watching the show, she seems a bit more aggressive in her comments than what I remember.

The show features members of the public trying to get some Chavvy problems sorted. The typical problems are things like people sleeping with other people, people who don't know if they are a baby's dad, drugs and violence. it is mainy around sex issues, and I personally wouldn't go on tv to declare that my boyfriend had cheated on me, or if I had cheated on my boyfriend and was needing to know who my baby's dad was. Imagine walking down the street after that? You would just be whoring yourself out on tv.

Most of the guests on the show just look like chavs and they seem well proud of themselves. Also the majority of them seem to be unemployed - connection? i'm not so sure. And before anyone mentions about recent unemployment with job losses and so on, that's not what i'm meaning, the guests are usually about 20, wear baseball caps, baggy jeans and loads of gold jewelery, so it's the usual people on the street on the daytime that you tend to see on the show.

I think the show often seems a bit of a pantomine. The girl comes on, gets upset, the audience sit in total silence, Trisha lends a sympathetic ear, then the boy comes out, Trisa lays into him, the audience start heckling him and booing and so on. Just wonder if the audience gets cue cards held up to shout things? Yes, it does seem like that type of show.

Although Trisha seems more down to earth than other chat show presenters, going on this show certainly won't save the world for the contestants, and I just find it depressing tv and I will not waste an hour of my life on this again. Hey, at least after watching this today, I realise my life isn't bad at all!
