In looking down on others – on their life choices, behaviours, clothes, accents – spectators were made to feel superior.
’s reality television programme from ITV earlier this week has occurred amidst a mood of public condemnation.
While a spokesman for Prime Minister Theresa May noted ‘deep concern’ regarding the case, ITV insisted in a statement that the programme had ‘significant and detailed duty of care processes in place for contributors pre, during and post show’, built up over the 14 years it had aired.For ITV, the death of Dyson follows other controversial tragedies – in particular, the deaths of former Love Island contestants, Mike Thalassitis and Sophie Gradon in 2018.
Sir Simon Wessely, professor and former president of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, called this the ‘theatre of cruelty’, and it is no laughing matter.Playing into a larger political narrative of ‘Broken Britain’, the programme showcased a simple but flawed narrative of good vs bad personal choices.
Again, in Kyle’s case, these processes are bound up with issues of social class. In looking down on others – on their life choices, behaviours, clothes, accents – spectators can feel superior.
