… to host a talk show, give ‘advice’ and judge people the way he did? The Channel 4 programme about the show is on and it’s just made me think about it all again!

YouHaveYourFathersBreasts · 14/03/2022 14:43

He was always an odious man but I remember one episode in particular when he was shouting at one woman guest because she had repeatedly left her on/off partner and moved herself and kids to a refuge. She kept going back to him and repeating this a few times. He was shouting that she was being unfair (I think) to her partner. With no thought to the reason why this woman was repeatedly allocated a space in a women’s refuge. That’s just one incident. There’s loads more.

Graham can fuck off too.

Oh no! Apologies, I misunderstood!

I missed a little of the documentary and obviously missed that bit!

@listsandbudgets

I remember watching it years ago and was absolutely incandescent to discover it was sponsored by Learn Direct.. so government funded. I wrote and complained and got a letter back advising that the JK audience was their target demographic so it was justified

Thankfully they paid more attention to a judge than me! Learn Direct withdrew funding

@listsandbudgets

That's appalling they ever received education funding

Absolutely no qualifications. There are quite a few of these old white males with zero talent still popping up on television. Loud, overconfident, ugly

The dumb and ugly males lap this stuff up.

Would it be ok if they were old black males with zero talent?

Wasn't surprised the vile Kyle's dad worked for the queen mother : his accent struck me as very 'mockney'.

PersephonePomegranate · 14/03/2022 15:22

Just watching the documentary - completely horrific.

I used to live in Birmingham and remember Jezza's confessions very well.

Mr Kyle (at that time) also used to frequent one of the big night clubs I used to go to. He was well known there for being, well, a bit creepy would be an understatement.

He was notoriously unfaithful wasn't he in his marriages?

Total hypocrite.

MrFsAunt · 14/03/2022 17:21

He did a Jude Law and shagged the nanny.

whynotwhatknot · 14/03/2022 18:08

interesting to hear graham wasnt a real qualified psychologist they always promised great aftercare

From the papers submitted by ITV to the House of Commons this is as good as it gets.

The Jeremy Kyle Show
The producers were advised by the Aftercare Team, led by Graham Stanier, whose title was Director of Aftercare. Graham is a consultant psychotherapist. He had many years experience as an NHS registered general nurse before studying occupational health, and receiving a masters degree fn Psychotherapy.
The Aftercare team included three other qualified nurses, with many years of experience in mental healthcare in an A&E setting and qualified in mental health assessment.

Anyone remember that programme Benefit Street that caused a bit of a stir a few years back? Think it was 2014ish. Lots of talk back then about the people being exploited, portrayed badly, lied to and manipulated by the crew etc.

Surprised how long it took with JK. I wonder if this tragedy hadn’t taken place would it still be aired today?

longwayoff · 14/03/2022 18:53

I reckon it would still be on, running a Ukraine appeal alongside its usual trashing of the poor and needy under the guise of help. Utterly revolting News of the World tactics feigning concern while kicking legs out from underneath people. He deserves whatever he gets.

blubberball · 14/03/2022 20:50

Poor lady got his name tattooed on her

alltheapples · 14/03/2022 20:51

@beverleybass in spite of the title, I actually thought Benefits Street portrayed people pretty sympathetically.

ldontWanna · 14/03/2022 21:06

Graham has made statements that he is not responsible for the way the host behaves.

That is the presenter’s style. I’m responsible for me and my behaviour I can’t be responsible for the presenter’s behaviour.
Read more: Jeremy Kyle plots return to TV with two new shows
“I’m responsible for me and for the guests. Responsibility for the presenter lies with the production.”
Asked if it was his duty to tell Kyle not to behave in a certain way towards guests Stanier said: “That is my role, but in the moment, I think he becomes passionate, opinionated and he will deliver in that way and if people are uncomfortable with that it’s a production issue to deal with that.”
He added: “I’m never professionally comfortable with black and white statements.”

And yet he stayed on.. and on...and on.

x2boys · 14/03/2022 21:26

Graham " our Genius '" was great at pointing out the blindingly obvious and claiming it was due to his experience 🙄

blubberball · 14/03/2022 21:34

I'm glad it's not on any more. Surprised to see that 20,000 people appeared on the show over 14 years.

ENoeuf · 14/03/2022 21:53

Hmmm interesting clip of Graham saying he couldn’t be responsible for the actions of the presenter. Although he was director of welfare so could have said his style was not compatible with a duty of care.

Well he could have done but I suspect ,he was in a cushy position and was interested in feathering his own nest 🙄

ENoeuf · 14/03/2022 22:02

Absolutely. What an embarrassment.

LouLou198 · 14/03/2022 22:25

Just finished watching episode 1. Absolutely horrific. Can't believe the lies they told, telling the family of the young girl who was a drug addict that they were in competition with others for a rehab bed!!
It's not something I ever sat down and watched, only bits I saw was when at work, some of the patients I looked after liked to watch it. I had k no I idea it was so bad.

Clarabe1 · 14/03/2022 22:26

I think the JK show was exploitative crap but then I also think Love Island, X factor, poverty porn and the rest of that reality shite is cheap exploitative rubbish. The thing is as a society we are are all guilty because if there wasn’t an appetite for this sort of shit then these programmes wouldn’t get made. Personally I blame Oprah, she acts all high and mighty but conveniently forgets she was the trailblazer for this sort of rubbish back in the 80s. Plus she was the one who gave that bald prick Dr Phil his break.

This makes for interesting reading. So we've already established that Graham's title isn't protected and anyone can call themselves a consultant psychotherapist. Are the other three nurses mentioned the full extent of the aftercare team I wonder, or just the ones they considered to be qualified. What strikes me is that working in A&E settings mean they work with people at crisis point but then there's none of the longevity of ongoing therapeutic involvement (ie aftercare(!)) The comment about wbinf qualified in mental health assessment is telling, this likely means they knew how to administer some MH measures and score them. The inquest is likely to demonstrate a woefully inadequate lack of aftercare provision.
