Inside the rise and fall of The Jeremy Kyle Show: 'It was a ticking timebomb'

Kane's story might have been splashy enough for The Jeremy Kyle Show to put it on display, but in one sense it's completely unremarkable there were 3,320 episodes of the programme, broadcast over 14 years and 17 series, and Kane is one of thousands of guests to have taken a seat on Kyle's stage. In February 2020, there was another death linked to The Jeremy Kyle Show that of 31-year-old Natasha Reddican, who took her own life at her home in Salford, nine months after the show was taken off air. - www.theguardian.com

BBC's Prince Philip coverage breaks UK TV complaints record

BBC One and BBC Two dedicated Friday evening's programming to Philip, and their ratings fell as viewers switched off altogether, turned to streaming services or watched shows such as Gogglebox on Channel 4.According to an internal BBC complaints log seen by the Guardian, an unprecedented level of viewer feedback was received over the weekend, meaning the coverage appears to have elicited one of the most negative reactions to BBC programmes ever seen. Almost 400 people wrote in to complain that Prince Andrew had featured despite his association with the late financier Jeffrey Epstein and refusal to answer questions posed by the FBI.A further 233 people complained that BBC presenters were not wearing sufficiently respectful clothes, with viewers complaining that not all newsreaders were wearing black - an echo of the controversy over the burgundy tie worn by Peter Sissons when he announced the death of the Queen Mother in 2002.And in a sign that the BBC is destined to be criticised by all sides, 116 people wrote to the corporation over the weekend to complain that it was making it too easy to complain about its coverage. - www.theguardian.com
