Just when you thought day time telly couldn't get any worse... To celebrate the 1000th episode of the so-bad-it's-brilliant show where families air their dirty laundry in front of a studio audience, the Platt family from Coronation Street will battle it out in character on the Jeremy Kyle show.
It has to be asked though, given the fact that many of the population struggle with understanding the difference between 'real life' and 'soap operas' will the audience actually 'get it'?
Staying in character and in true keeping with the show, the Corrie stars will act out a typical Kyle-esque scenario with the usual shouting, accusations of infidelities and lie detectors tests which should keep the audience satisfied with the daily damage that the 'real' guests bring us in the mornings.
Craig Gazey, Corrie's Graeme Proctor, is going to provide contributions from the audience and says: "We are going to do it exactly how people do it... my character is quite funny and may come out with silly things but we're not doing it for a laugh."
This does beg the question about why they're doing it at all and makes you think how seriously the show takes its responsibilities towards its genuine guests - who let's face it have 'real' issues.
