Jeremy Kyle's Emergency Room

Is this one of the worst TV programmes ever made? JK talks to people while they're having vaginal examinations / breast examinations and then asks voyeuristic, intrusive and at the same time, asinine, questions. WTAF?

Urgh. Thanks for the warning. DH loves JK (goodness knows why) but I think even he will give this a wide berth.

SoleSource · 22/06/2015 15:37

YANBU anything made by him is utter trash television. I have seen a bit of it and it is boring, unnecessary bullshit. I hate any type of emergency hospital programme. Why watch other peoples misery?

FarFromAnyRoad · 22/06/2015 15:38

I wouldn't watch this and would hoik the old judgey drawers at anyone who did.
Just don't watch it.

ijustlovecake · 22/06/2015 15:43

I can't stand that fucking smug twat. He makes money out of exploiting vulnerable, uneducated people. This new programme of his is a new low, sick bastard.

EponasWildDaughter · 22/06/2015 15:44

You are joking!

What does it say about our society that these are the programmes drawing in enough watchers to justify making them?

Nothing nice IMO.

WendyTorrance · 22/06/2015 15:47

I happened to see a bit of one last week. Young couple, desperate for a baby, wasn't happening. Doctor advises them that tests are normal etc.
Jezza then imparts his own words of wisdom telling them they're trying to hard and they need to relax etc. "Stop having sex and I promise it will happen for you" was one gem. Oh, where to start.....

WendyTorrance · 22/06/2015 15:48

And I agree it's appalling, voyeuristic tv at its worst.

HopOnTheMonnerBus · 22/06/2015 16:28

Me and DS1 quite like to watch it just so we can shout insults at Jezza as we watch.

MitzyLeFrouf · 22/06/2015 16:31

Disappointing.

This isn't the reason I hoped Jezza was in the Emergency Room.

The80sweregreat · 22/06/2015 16:32

Awful programme.

LIZS · 22/06/2015 16:46

Saw it today . Just why would you want him to be present at an internal examination or taking a good look at your boob or todger and passing comment. Presumably the whole scenario is staged in a studio.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 22/06/2015 16:51

Stop having say and it will happen. How did he work that one outConfused
Think he must have been asleep in his lessons about the birds and the bees.

LIZS · 22/06/2015 17:08

Today's gem was along the lines of go out , have a good time and you'll get pg . At least that was how 2 of his dc were conceived!

The5DayChicken · 22/06/2015 17:19

Me and DM normally have a brew and cake together a couple of times a week while watching Judge Rinder. This God awful program has stolen that slot.

There's nothing 'emergency' about it either. And it's fairly obviously a studio type set up. There's a security guard at the 'waiting room' door and barely anyone else around. It's one of the few programs where the 'host' seems to be adding nothing to the show whatsoever. It would actually be more informative without him there.

CantBrainToday · 22/06/2015 17:23

Bollocks I hoped someone had punched the smug twat harder this time...

CantBrainToday · 22/06/2015 17:23

Also how is abreast exam in anyway an "emergency room" situation?

Jo4040 · 22/06/2015 17:29

This thread is making me laugh. I heard the 'stop having sex' comment and was puzzled myself but thought it was me being a bit thick because the Doctor seemed to agree with him. Wtf

MackerelOfFact · 22/06/2015 17:33

I was watching this the other day and was flabbergasted that it was being broadcast. He talks over the doctors who are giving actual medical advice, and just digs for drama with the patients. He was talking to a young lad with a brain tumour and the questioning was along the lines of:

JK: How did you feel when you found out you had a tumour?
Boy: Scared.
JK: And how did you feel about having major brain surgery?
Boy: Worried.
JK: HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE FACT THE TUMOUR COULD COME BACK AND YOU MIGHT DIE?
Boy: Shock

The5DayChicken · 22/06/2015 17:34

The doctor's hands are probably a bit tied at that point because that twat is portraying himself as an authority and she was being paid not only in a medical capacity but also to appear on the program.

InQuiteAPickle · 22/06/2015 17:39

Jeremy Kyle is a bell end. I caught a bit of this programme the other day - I forgot that Judge Rinder wasn't on. JK kept going on and on about getting "The Truth".

He's such a knob.

Patapouf · 22/06/2015 17:45

I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds it distasteful and bizarre! I love the JK show though
Trash TV is fine, but this is too weird.

Jo4040 · 22/06/2015 17:46

I agree. Poor Doctors. Can't be doing much for their CV agreeing with comments like that on national TV. I like jermemy kyle in 'Jermemy Kyle' well not like, but laugh at and think he's a big head, but it is 'The Jeremy Kyle show' so let him do wht he wants. But he's clutching at straws with this new venture. Really

You would think this would assist him with empathy.

MitzyLeFrouf · 22/06/2015 17:52

Wikipedia tells me that Jezz'a wife Carla Germaine was the bride in Two Strangers and a Wedding, a radio competition where two people who had never met were chosen by the station's listeners to marry. They then won some prizes.

It's all so klassy chez Kyle-Germaine.
