Jerry Springer - The Musical

Yes, why did Kirsty need to make that sort of announcement anyway? There seems to be a trend towards series narrators doing this and those "If you have been affected by the issues in tonight's programme..." messages, it's taking the cake out of honest CAs' mouths.

Fantastic, I thought it was brilliant, I never intended watching it, but there was nothing else on and seeing that it got all that Media Attention, I'm glad I watched it now, amazing!

Think they're going to get a bucket load of complaints.

Out of interest I rang the BBC Information line a few times tonight - could not get through.

Well I've missed it, because the local transmitter is off air .

I hope BBC will repeat it, but they probably wont, if the Daily Mail readers kick up a fuss...

I thought it wasa Great !
Sent an e-mail to say well done for having the guts to put it on.

Why wasn't JS The Opera billed in a 2h 5min slot rather than just 2 hours? Because the show overran exactly 2 hours my DVD-R missed the end (and it didn't help having to keep stopping the disc at the start due to a succession of trails...)

Thankyou MediaWatch - if it wasn't for you I'd have missed the best piece of television on the BBC in a very long time!

Brilliant - well performed and acted and a great satire on the American chat show. Not only that, but the concept of hell was inspired. Fantastic.

As for the swearing - when it was there it was noticable, in no small part due to the focus of the lead up on the swearing, but it was all in context and long periods past without any strong language what so ever. I think half the f-words quoted by MediaWatch were in the final scene!

One thing I don't get though is how come C4 so often have to bleep out the odd c-word well past the watershed when it can obviously be used numerous times on this show?

Absolutely brilliant. It was the funniest thing I've watched in years.

I can see why the religious folk might be complaining, *BUT* it was Springer's hallucianation of God, Jesus and Satan who took the form of the people he had met that day. They weren't actually the "real" God, jesus and Satan so there is even less chance of getting a decent blasphemy convicton.

Is this available on DVD by the way (or the soundtrack on CD)? I never thought of taping it.

Dip them in chocolate and throw them to the lesbians!

I think it was absoultely excellent.

An outstanding production- clever, funny and wickedly satirical.

Well done to the BBC for standing up to the god-botherers.

Take the names of all those who burned their TV licenses, monitor them and slap them with £1000 fines when they switch on their TVs.

Use the money raised to produce more of this kind of high quality programming.

The songs were really catchy as well, and I thought the Guy who played Satan/Warm-up Guy was especially good, and David Sould was superb as Jerry. I will email the BBC and congratulate them on sticking by the show and airing it.

Great pice of television indeed! Would be nice to have a repeat on Four.
