The Jeremy Kyle Show saga continues:

So, caring Graham looked the other way or isn't quite the man many thought?

Graham Stanier, Director of Aftercare, The Jeremy Kyle Show, said: “Some people will fail the test yet be telling the truth. They are told that before taking the test. I’m naive about the figures for accuracy.”

AND

Presented with a clip of Kyle telling a lie detector contestant definitively “You lied”, Mr Stanier said: “That’s the presenter’s style. I’m responsible for me

"I can’t be responsible for the presenter’s behaviour. It's not the language I would use.”

.

That doesn't seem very ethical to me. I wonder where the money comes from into that service?

Anyone who has seen this show will know Kyle himself doesn't reflect this failure rate in his dealing with guests. He portrays them to be far more accurate (doesn't he say a certain very high figure?) and takes them as gospel when using them in the show.

I wonder how many relationships he has wrecked with this BS?

I do believe Graham's membership should be considered too since this show may contradict UKCP's Code of Ethics.

I find Extinction Rebellion a strange lot. Here they are at Glastonbury asking people to cut down on single use plastics:

Yet they don't seem to have an issue with the massive carbon footprint of this event in terms of electricity used, clean up operations and all the travelling???

And now they are onto Wimbledon, again for single use plastics. An event where everyone is travelling and all the tennis players are likely jetting her with their people and then will head off to the next venue somewhere else courtesy of a highly polluting aeroplane.

New ‘Carry On’ films are going to be made, the first being Carry On Doctors.

"Now, as the series carries on into the 21st Century, Carry On Doctors returns to hospital with a cast crammed full of beloved comedy actors and a hilarious script that will have you in stitches! With a kiss to the past and a firm finger on the pulse, it's time to Carry On. Again," says ‘Carry On…’ historian Robert Ross (via the BBC).

Hmmm! The last time the ‘Carry On’ brand was resurrected was in 1992 – Carry On Columbus… And to be honest it would have to be a dire film indeed to come out worse than that We shall see….

My top five ‘Carry Ons’ :

Carry On Up The Khyber
Carry On Cruising
Carry On Screaming
Carry On Cabby
Carry On Sergeant

(Not a Barbara Windsor in sight….)

Hmm...next up Love Thy Neighbour?

The BBC won't touch older sit coms because of the backlash they fear they will receive. Probably mostly online and by people who often don't see many of them were taking the pee out of the protagonists and showing them up.

Can I see them resurrecting the Carry On format? No chance! Forget the poor resurrection last time, it had already had it's day and comedy had moved on, but what about the backlash from those who would take offence? So, it would have to be watered down or changed therefore no longer being a Carry On?

And aren't CH5 resurrecting All Creatures Great And Small?

How about Curry And Chips? Spike Milligan doing his best adumbrate personification. The BBC programming commissioners would call the police if anything like that turned up as a submission these days!

Just returning to the 'Carry On' films; I thought NMP's very own JoJo was directing one, to be called Carrion Crowing. But apparently, the star turned out to be the wrong type of actor, so it morphed into Crowz N The Hood

Don't think I've seen that, not seen much of Milligan's work to be honest. Probably a racist title now on Twitter or at least cultural appropriation

Carrion Crowing, JoJo's crow sits on here head at command, ooh er

I'm surprised not to have heard Carry On Brexit, plenty of sequels in that one You wouldn't even need to make the characters goofy, we already have so many ready made candidates

I can only just remember seeing bits of it as a child. I've looked it up to find that it only had one six episode series (made by London Weekend Television - now defunct, like all the other regional ITV channels). Yes, it was all that you guessed!

Spike Milligan, as with most 'brilliant' comedians was only 'brilliant' in a small part of his output - the rest of the time he was just plain silly and unfunny (my wife couldn't/can't stand the bloke at all!).

I thought we were all acting in Carry On Brexit - and like a Shakespearean tragedy, we won't see how the jokes all fit together until the very end (if ever!)

I agree with your wife.

I don't know about you but I can't wait for the series to kick off:

Carry On Brussels
Carry On Commissioner
Carry On Centralising
Carry On Sneering
Carry On Corruption (might have to be split into more than one film to make it fit )
Carry On Leaving (said to span a number of them)

There is a backlash one also, Carry On B0ll0cks.

Finally a look back version, What A Carry On.
