    I'm confused over why MSE have stuck this on this board?

    Is this a praise, vent or warning?

    If MSE wants to start going down this road they should introduce a specialised board where daytime TV can post show requests!

    Do we really need to get that anal?

    I'd probably watch if it was Jude Grinder.

    About right tbh.

    Rinder seemed more concerned with trying to be funny (or insulting).

    Probably because this section is a hotbed for the kind of people the show is looking for: typically not that bright with completely unrealistic expectations and a solid sense of entitlement. Not to mention, overly dramatic at the distress caused by whatever trivial subject matter they are moaning about and the need for 'compensayshun'.

    How to kill your career as a barrister in one fell swoop.
  • Oh dear, more trash TV. Will it include a telephone vote or just send in the heavies?

    Oh I was aware of what chambers he is out of but am sure his colleagues are taking the !!!! and he has dropped down in their estimation, not to mention future and current perspective clients
  • Why does the header state that he is a criminal barrister? It is irrelevant surely as he will hardly be called on to judge criminal cases - that is done in a real court with a real judge.


    Why do we have to take the worst of American TV?


    I would sooner chew off a limb than appear on this type of programme.

    Because UK programme makers have no imagination, hence the plethora of antiques and makeover programmes

    I agree and I'm sure most MSE members feel the same way, that may explain why only the intellectually challenged seem to appear on Daytime TV, although I've not watched it and have no intention of ever doing so.
