To be shocked by Jeremy Kyle

Ms V Meldrew, so does neglect and a poor diet.

I find it just as strange to see celebrities looking like Red Rum when they smile

( with celebrity teeth ) you really are on top form today MissA

I believe that drug use, particularly cocaine, damages the teeth.

It can be very difficult to find an NHS dentist who will take on new patients. We no longer have school dentists or the 'nit nurse' - I know, I know, we shouldn't need them but in truth we do. Children whose parents are functioning poorly or barely at all will struggle to do the basics, like feed their children and provide decent clean clothing.

As for Jeremy Kyle - disgusting show. I'm with those posters who say don't watch it and it will be let go by the TV channel. The idea expressed by an earlier poster on this thread, that the powers that be ought to watch it and do something to stop the people on it having children and getting benefits sent a real chill down my spine.

that should be nice cup of tea and nice chat to sort out their issue.

I do not like J.k or the programme. But my question is how many people would watch it, if they just sat down with a nice cup of tea a chat to sort out their issue.

Gosh, how awful to be young and hardly any teeth. They are intended to last a lifetime.

Exactly Anniebach

I'm an elitemeritocratic

OTOH = on the other hand.

Sorry oldbatty but you may have a wait but everyone has the right to a NHS dentist We certainly have plenty taking on in our area There was a problem a few years ago and there probably will be after Brexit when all the European dentists go home
The problem is these people who are often young and only have a few teeth in their head obviously haven’t looked after themselves and don’t keep appointments strange how they get to the tattooist though
But lie detectors aren’t fool proof by any means Vivne65 that’s why they can’t be used in a court of law as they can be inaccurate

2 of her granddaughters don't get on. (That is the very LEAST of the family's problems) but that is what was focused on for the programme.
I could say a whole lot more, but I won't.
My lips are sealed. (You'll have to watch!)
The show asked the family to make a follow up programme, but thankfully they had come to their senses by then, and declined.

OH no Miss A .....what is the "theme?"

I can't bear that show - and others like it. There are even worse ones. They mostly exploit people who know no better and it's pagronising, public humiliation, etc

I also don't like 'Can't pay, won't pay.'

My neighbour and family are going to be on the programme on 4th December.
I tried to persuade her not to do it..

Perhaps by the choice of response Mabon1 hopes to inject a sour note into the thread and reduce everyone else's enjoyment of the conversation to his/her own low level?

I think maybe you could be right Elegran and perhaps as a result of ill breeding , who knows

OTOH... ON THE OTHER HAND.
I do watch it if I'm in. Some people want their 15 mins of fame and some genuinely need and get help.
One serial female guest and off spring AND boyfriends/husbands just drive me mad, if she comes on whilst im watching it gets switched off!
I did recognise someone on there once, I used to babysit him when he was a baby and I was a teenager!! I'd know him anywhere. Still a stroppy little git by all accounts!!!

dragonfly Mabon1's normal reaction on a thread is, "if this is your only problem then lucky old you", or a version of it. Maybe he/she has a lot of worse problems that we don't know about, and if he/she let us into the secret we might even sympathise. As it is, whenever I read it I for one can think only what an unpleasant character he/she seems!

There is no guideline to stop anyone repeatedly being a miserable git - but there is a very real danger for those with plenty of problems that someone will get so fed up reading the disparaging put-downs that they will answer sharply enough to get their own post deleted, or even get banned.

I agree with maccy1955 very harsh to refer to people as 'creatures'. The programme is exploitative to an extent but the viewers are just as much to blame for keeping up the ratings. I think the JK programme has helped some people but like all reality programmes it has its downside.

Izabella can you translate OTOH please?

The couple of programmes I've watched left me amazed that such awful looking men and women could apparently have so many people fighting over them.

I usually switch to ITV waiting for This Morning at 10 so catch the end of the program. I used to hate JK but he/the program seem to do some good work - reuniting families, sending people to rehab, getting professional help where it's needed and so on. I'm unable to decide how he decides when to have a go & when to be supportive but, let's face it, if you need a lie detector to tell you someone's been unfaithful, you're already in trouble.
He is a bit harsh at times, but I like him.

I watched a couple of episodes years ago but I was pretty sickened by the exploitation of people from the most unfortunate section of society. JK looked like he was wholly enjoying berating and making fun of them. The audience seemed to be revelling in the guests misfortune and misery. I found the whole thing very cruel. It was very reminiscent of people going to Bedlam for a cheap days entertainment. Really nasty programme.

Watching JK prog is no different from Victorian riff raff going to see the mentally disturbed at the insane asylums and laughing at them....tif you tune in ....even if onlyto condemn this crap....then you are adding to the problem. Tv will continue to produce this trash as long as people are willing to watch it! STOP!
