Excerpt from dooyoo's information page:

dooyoo and the daytime TV programme Trisha have teamed up to find volunteers to appear on the show. They are looking for people willing to talk about the following subjects.
"Are you having relationship difficulties? Maybe you have a sexual problem? Or perhaps a jealous partner is pushing you to breaking point? Do you suspect your partner of cheating on you? Perhaps you're sick of their lies and deceitful ways and want to do some honest talking. Or, are you the one who feels it's time to come clean? Maybe your marriage has hit a rocky patch and you're sick of the constant arguing - do you want to save your marriage?"

I have a confession to make. You see by day I'm a respectable loving mum, but by night, I'm a rampant sex obsessed beast. I'm here today to tell you "Make love to me 20 times a day or we are finished? What's that you say *turns to lover of twenty years* you're really a woman? Oh no, I never knew!

Yesidoo gasps in horror as audience begins to laugh uncontrollably "but how did you make love to me for all these years without me noticing? Trisha makes innuendo about not missing much anyway. "Well the truth is Yesidoo, that I used to make love with the lights off every time, and I had a good deal going with the local chippy and their savaloy sausages! But that's not all, I never really loved you, I was just using you to shield my sexuality, and I'm here to tell you that I've been sleeping with your brother for five years!?

Cut to audience hissing and booing. Trish interrupts, "But Mr Yesidoo, how could you do this to your lover of twenty years, don't you feel ashamed? Why would you bring Yesidoo on National TV to tell her this?" Mr Yesidoo (now known as Ms Yesidoo and revealing noticeable cleavage to delight of male audience members, that Yesidoo had never noticed in all her time with Ms Yesido
o) gives cocky shrug.

Cut to audience member who wants to talk. "Well I fink vat it's well wrong wot you is doin! it's sick innit? You ought to be locked up wiv all the uvver wierdos? Audience claps and makes agreeing noises. Audience member sits down hoping her comment has earned her a free bottle of bubbly for being the most outrageous and offensive comment.

Yesidoo begins to cry, Trisha walks down to sofa and crouches beside her. Trisha attempts to talk in a caring I know how you feel, I've been there and I ache for you type way, which will give the show a bit more depth?

Scene ends and Yesidoo is carted off with the promise of some counselling for her reward as coming on the show and a promise that she will find herself and be stronger for having come through this. Ms Yesidoo is booed off the stage along with her brother in law (having had fisticuffs with Yesidoo earlier)

Producers and assistants then trundle on the next group of victims, ahem I mean guests, this week it's "I slept with your mother while you were at the chippy"

REALITY ALERT (makes alert sound)

Obviously this show is about light entertainment and gets it's viewers through the shock factor. The Trisha show has many predecessors in the "counsellor TV" area as I call it. Before her it was Vanessa, and of course who could forget the lovely Jerry Springer? The Trisha show tries to be a jumbled mix of the two.

Whilst aping Jerry with it's ever crazier situations and mock anger/laughter from the audience, she tries to retain some dignity by constantly referring to her league of counsellors readily available, and by telling everyone that they can really "heal" and grow from this experience?

EXCUSE ME! How can anyone "grow" as a person by being publicly humiliated on national television, and pouring out whole chunks of their intimate private lives in all it's
revolting glory!! Trisha regularly asks her guests "but why bring him/her on National TV to tell her blah blah?" well, Trisha, the answer is glaringly obvious isn't it? Because if they didn't, you'd be out of a job and secondly because the majority of the people (not all) who go on the show seem to rate their fifteen minutes of fame higher than the feelings of their loved ones (albeit soon to be ex loved ones)

I feel sorry for those poor souls who genuinely believe they are going to be helped in anyway by airing their dirty linen in such graphic detail to a bunch of strangers who are only there to mock and jeer at them. But that said, these are willing participants in a voyeuristic show, and they know the consequences of going on such shows.

That said, Trisha does do other shows which don't always include, wife swapping. Transvestites or closet thumb suckers. Occasionally she will do a show about finding lost relatives or adopted children etc. The show is harmless enough, and nowhere near as aggressive or shocking as it's American counterpart, Jerry, but at least with Jerry, you knew he was having a laugh, and that the majority of his guests were too. Trisha tries too hard to cover it all up with a sickly helping of "group hug" therapy and "I can feel the love in the room" codswallop.

Still, that's daytime TV for ya!!

Now, If you'll excuse me I'm off to feel the love in the room and learn and grow from this experience of sharing with you all about my home life "Mr Yesidoo, where are you putting that lemon squeezer?"
