From BBC News:

Talk show host Jerry Springer has signed to present a daytime show on ITV to replace Trisha Goddard, who defected to channel Five.
Springer has initially signed a one-month deal.
Springer's show will continue in a similar confessional vein of Trisha and his own notorious US shows.
An ITV spokeswoman said British reserve would mean it was unlikely fights would break out on set - "although you never can tell", she added.
Springer made his name as the host of his own US show which became synonymous with fighting between guests and outrageous themes.
Security guards are employed to separate warring people, while Springer signs off with a moral message to be taken from the show.
Springer is expected to be seen on UK screens in the weekday 9.25am slot in May or June.
ITV is still screening repeat episodes of Trisha, which are beating her new Five afternoon show in the ratings.
Wednesday's Five show had an audience of 400,000 - while her old ITV programme had 1.1 million viewers.

Quality.

I remember Springers UK show a few years back and it worked well.

I seem to rember the set being a bit shabby, mind.

I wonder if there'll be any religious fanatics protesting outside the studios, still reeling from the fact they failed to get the Springer Opera banned on BBC2?

The titles aren't too bad,it's the set and show that they ruined,and it's more the show than the set.
