I personally find Jeremy Kyle's show to attract people from an uneducated background (or in other words that refers to the 'populace'). The show doesn't carry any cultural or educational significance. I personally find the stories shown and told on screen for absolutely inappropriate for broadcasting. The participants have created the impression on me as being of a low class society, tending to have lack of education, manners, values etc. Some lines I have heard on screen have been such as "I hope I am not the dad of my cheating ex-es baby, I wanna live me own life...". Participants on the show have also behaved aggressively and violently at times. In regards to that, I would assume that people that are to watch this sort of programmes, should be a low class uneducated audience to whom cheap and basic programmes appeal to.
As much as I wonder why programmes like that have been put on screen, I know that broadcasters are seeking for higher viewings and they need to deliver programmes to suit all tastes. Unfortunately, they are completely controversial to Arnold's aims for social improvement throughout culture and education, but in nowadays society there could not be such thing as universal value (e.g. culture).
I completely agree with you, I think it's made as controversial as possible to draw in high ratings. As for the show itself, it's just plain awful.
ReplyDeleteI really don't know how they could broadcast that. I can't even bare to watch it all the way through. I have seen selected clips and it disgusts me. I don't want to imagine the people it appeals to and that give of their spare time to watch it. Oh well, I can imagine these people are not of the busiest after all.
