Advantages: Going on the show was a good day out

Disadvantages: Jeremy has out-done her

You can catch The Trisha Goddard show on Channel 5 at 10.30am Monday to Friday - conveniently straight after the Jeremy Kyle show on ITV.
Trasha (yes thats on purpose) is the host, and guests with 'problems' appear on the stage to tell the audience and viewers at home, about them.
Trash will then advise them to do the right thing in a trying-not-to-be-patronising-but-failing way.
These type of shows are famous for their lie detectors and DNA tests - well it seems the trisha show is a bit low on funding as she uses a 'body-language expert' these days to detect the liars!!
If you have seen the Jeremy Kyle show - the Trisha Show is like a tame version of that.

Trish first hit the UK box on ITV's 'The Trisha Show' in 1998 and left in 2004 for a £1m contract with channel 5.
This greedy change-over was her downfall IMO.
Although the show format and subjects are similar, she made way for the king of daytime TV - Jeremy Kyle. Now her time at the top (of daytime trash) is over.

MY EXPERIENCE
I loved the Trisha show on ITV, they managed to get some funny stories and loads of chavs. I even went in the audience twice with different groups of friends. The ITV studio was in Norwich so it was a 7 hour coach trip there and back from Birmingham. (Shut up, Its a day out!)
When you arrive you are told to go shopping in Norwich for a couple of hours (the town is gorgeous actually) then when you get back into the studio you get a free biscuit and cup of orange squash.
You are then seated in the audience - people with bright vibrant clothes get to go at the front :-P and a man will come out to tell you what the 'stories of the day' are.
On one occasion i actually wore a bright red Trisha t-shirt with a big picture of her face on the front and on the back "whos the daddy?" "the answers in the envelope"
Of course i got picked on and was made to stand up and do a twirl to show everyone. (embarassing)
In one of the stories we did actually witness a punch-up which was edited for the show, and just showed audience reactions!
From the start of the show to the end lasted around 4 hours so go to the loo before.

I think the channel 5 version is rubbish. The stories are tame, lame, and you can't help but feel sometimes they are getting the rejects from the JK show.

Summary: Maybe we'll go back to her when JK finishes in Feb 2010
