ITV family program

I am disgusted that the powers that be at itv have not told the female judges on BGT that it is not appropriate to wear such revealing dresses on a family program such as this, last night Amanda Holdens dress (or what there was of it) went too far open all the way to her navel and down at the back as far as it could without seeing the rest, it is NOT the Amanda Holden show it's about talent someone should be telling both ladies to dress appropriately for a family show and not try for all the attention for their own ego .

ITV britain's got talent

June 1st
Tonight I was appalled at Amanda Holden's plunging neckline dress. This program is on before the evening watershed and is meant to be appropriate for the Queen to view. I have noticed in other episodes the inappropriateness of many of the outfits that the female judges wear and have to wonder who is designing their wardrobes. BGT is a family show and the judges whether they like it or not are role models which many of your younger impressionable viewer's look up to. There are any number of beautiful gowns that they could wear that would set the correct tone and example worthy of a Family Show.

I also complained to ITV and this is the reply I got...

We are sorry to hear that you were offended by Amanda's Outfit worn during the live show of Britain's Got Talent. The judges are known for their glamorous outfits during the live shows, and we do not consider any of the outfits worn by our judges to be unsuitable for the audience or the show.
Nevertheless, may I take this opportunity to thank you for taking the time to contact us here at ITV.

ITV britain's got talent (thursday 1st june semi final)

Sitting here with my grand daughter at the start of the above programme and the 4 judges come on and I was totally shocked at Amanda Holdens attire. It does not leave very much to the imagination being extremely revealing at both the front and back. Even my 9 year old grand daughter commented "that dress is quite rude". Not something I would expect to see on a family show, totally inappropriate. She (Holden) should be ashamed and be hauled over the coals for her appearance. In fact one of the other judges David Walliams, has just passed a throwaway comment on "someone wearing an appropriate low cut clothing, so even her fellow presenters feel she is not dressed correctly. Resolution of this - get her to apologise and cover up!

ITV britain's got talent

David Walliams should be taken of this show, I am fed up with his perverted innuendo's about young men with good bodies, the magician ask for top middle or bottom he replied I will have the bottom, , last week hove stood up on the judges desk and dropped his trousers. This is INDECENT EXPOSIA, if I were to do that in the street I would Ger arrested but because hove is a celebrity he gets away with it numerous people are fed up with him and if he remains a judge then you will lose a lot of your viewers.

ITV advertisement in the north west

Hi,

I am currently sitting enjoying "jaws"the move. I live in the north west of England and currently have my t.v via virgin media.
In numerous adverts I have witnessed "the Sun"newspaper appear while the commercial adverts are on.
I would like an explanation as to why I.T.V (broadcasting in the north west) would advertise this newspaper knowing the incriminating lies it told?
I would appreciate a reply to this matter.

Many thanks.

ITV britain's got talent

David Walliams has got to go off our screens now ! Week after week we have to put up with his perverted comments on young men & older men, it's getting very uncomfortable week after week. I've tried to watch this series again & tried to ignore his disgusting comments, but this evening was just too much dropping his trousers absolutely disgusting. Do we really have to be subjected to this outrageous behaviour. How can ITV have him on it's broadcast to look at some really talented people then go on the same channel when it's supposed to be for HRH the Queen. I really enjoy BGT but he needs to go with this behaviour. I'm really outraged by tonight's programme. I have never complained about any programme before, why should I be subjected to it as I like the BGT . I will not watch it if he's allowed to continue with his disgusting behaviour . I don't give a flying fig to his medical condition, if he can't behave then give him air time after 10pm.

Regarding Mr Walliams behaviour on ITV last night. If he were to expose himself in this way in the street he would be charged with indecent exposure, my view is that this should happen in this case. He is not funny and appears to only be able to make smutty comments which are not in keeping with a family show.

ITV the keith and paddy picture show

This complaint is in regard to the program "The Keith and Paddy Picture Show" that aired on Saturday the 20th of May.
I find it extremely distasteful that the accent of the ewok ( a bear with what can be described as having a black face) in the sketch was clearly that of an black pimp as used in early American films to depict black people in a negative light. The point of humour was to have an aggressive ewok. So all in all this was not even a subtle play. I found it highly offensive, blatantly out of order, totally unnecessary and am surprised that the producers even allowed it. I can only assume that they all found the entire sketch totally amusing to make an aggressive ewok sound a black person.

It just goes to show that there are those in senior positions in ITV that can allow racist attitudes to air on prime time TV! Unbelievable!

ITV coronation street

I have watched coronation street for over 50 years, it was an iconic programme, it is not iconic anymore since the use of changing the name of the rovers return eg:- implying that it is written in Russian/polish, I can just about stand the meercats, but the starting credits now of coronation street have taken away the originality of the programme. It has now become racist in my eyes, and I find it offensive. I shall be making my feelings known through the media, facebook etc. The content needs bringing back to reality and as for the back to front K for Corononation street, plus other letters, the Cabin etc. This is GB for gods sake not the bloody USSR.
one very miffed off viewer.

ITV pierce morgan interview with diane abbott

I am writing to inform you that I will no longer be watching or supporting your TV channel. I watched Pierce Morgan interview Diane Abbott on whether labour would press the nuclear "button" or not. I found him and your other presenters highly arrogant and rude. Please note they are not as educated as this MP on current political and world affairs. He came across as a total right-wing reactionary and pro-trump supporter, who clearly lacks any kind of diplomacy and was clearly interrogating her. Is this the kind of politics you want to promote at ITV? Surely your presenters should be impartial and interview people properly if you wish to practice good journalism. To me he looked very stupid and uneducated when interviewing her this morning and as a result I now believe you will lose certain viewers.

Update by Vote Labour
May 02, 2017 5:58 am EDT

I am writing to inform you that I was appalled by ITV Good Morning Britain's coverage of an interview between Pierce Morgan and Diane Abbott. I watched Pierce Morgan interview Abbott on whether Labour would "press" the nuclear button or not. I found him and your other presenters highly arrogant and rude. Firstly, they are not as educated as this MP on current political and world affairs and secondly, I found the way they questioned her highly disrespectful. Pierce Morgan came across as a total right-wing reactionary and pro-trump supporter, who clearly lacks any kind of real meaningful diplomacy. He was interrogating Diane Abbott and was using the interview as another way to attack and undermine the Labour party. Is this the kind of politics you want to promote at ITV? Surely your presenters should be impartial and interview people properly, if they wish to practise valued journalism? Diane Abbott was composed and was not answering his questions with a "yes" or "no" answer, because she was trying to avoid feeding into his blatant right wing sensationalist views; something perhaps one of your more ignorant or uneducated viewers may not have picked on? The interview conveys Pierce Morgan's lack of knowledge and understanding around using a nuclear deterrent. It is not a simple "yes" or "no" answer, but an extremely complex one. If Good Morning Britain is going to persist in this type of politics maybe it needs to inform it's viewers on the benefits of having a prime minister that will press the "button" of a nuclear device. Perhaps you could give examples? Do you think a lot of your viewers understand the message you were trying to put across this morning? Do you think you are putting this message across in an appropriate, measured and informed way? More to the point you have a responsibility as a TV channel to promote fair, respectful and impartial media coverage. This kind of sensationalist right-wing TV does nothing more than feed peoples fears.

ITV inappropriate spotify advert aired during family show bgt 29.04.17

I was disgusted tonight by ITV airing an advert that was totally inappropriate for family viewing. My two children age 6 and 11 love to watch this family show every week. For ITV to air the advert for Spotify that shows a mum talking about her son being conceived on the dinning room table was disgusting, especially when my 11 year old daughter asked 'what does she mean by her son was made on the table' that he was currently sat at.
A family show means children are watching it, so you should avoid this type of advert being aired on a family show ever again.
The person who made the decision to air this advert should be severely reprimanded or even sacked.
This is the first time I have ever made a complaint about an advert on TV but could not let ITV get away with this decision to show this advert during a family show. I love tongue and cheek TV but for the right time and place without being made to feel uncomfortable in front of my daughters.
I'm also equally annoyed that I've even had to write this complaint tonight but someone should be made accountable for this poor decision to air such an inappropriate advert during a family show.
I expect a response to acknowledge my complaint.
Your sincerely
Mr Steen

ITV loose woman

I have just been watching this show and the panel where interviewing Caprice talking about her having had a brain tumour which she had removed.
Caprice was talking about not telling her family etc about her operation and how she had to be a pillar of strengh the presenter then said ...this is what woman do! I was so very offended by this comment. surely the presenter should have said woman and men have done this. I can't count the times this show has caused offence to me by making blanket statements about men and what they do and don't do. It seems to be ok and accepted when these comments are made. Woman and men experience and react to lifes trails in very much the same way and this should be broadcasted by your presenters through your shows.

ITV live coverage of the westminster incident.

While watching the aftermath of this terrible incident unfold ITV had a so called security expert Glenmore Trenear Harvey voiceover giving his take on the events. I couldn't believe my ears when he referred to "PC Plod". These officers risk their lives on a daily basis, as indeed did the officer who lost his life yesterday. To refer to these men in such a derogative way disgusted me.
This man should be ashamed of himself and if he is half the man he thinks he is should want to write to the family of the dead officer and apologise for his stupid comment. In any event he should be made to apologise on air and never be used for his comments ever again. The man is a disgrace.

I made a formal complaint to ITV News and the Metropolitan Police Federation Chairman. I am informed by the Editor of ITV News that Mr Glenmore Trenear-Harvey has written to the Deputy Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police to apologise for his comments and is also making a donation to the Police Benevolent Fund. Hopefully the media will re-consider using him as a supposed pundit. As a retired Police officer I prefer to be a plod than a knob.

ITV itv news report

On this afternoon's ITV news report, during the interview with the late Joe Cox's husband when he was talking about extremist groups and terrorist why did the news show a clip of people with SNP and the St Andrews cross flags?

I am very unhappy that the report should show a peaceful demonstration whilst talking about extremist groups

But it doesn't show the same report on the ITV .com it only shows the interview

ITV your advert for the 6 nations

29/02/2017
For the second time in two days I've heard the announcement that the 6 Nations starts on Saturday the 4th February with England v France.

This is not the case, the competitions starts Saturday the 4th February at 2:30pm with Scotland v Ireland.

This is what I expect from the BBC not a Scottish television company.

ITV the jonathan ross show 10th december, 2016

I am writing to complain about the vile and offensive comments made by David Walliams on Saturday nights show. He said he would be home alone on Christmas Day masterbating. He also made other disgusting inappropriate ghastly comments. He is a vile creature who should not be on our TV screens. He should not be a judge on Britain's got talent either as he repeatedly makes vile inuendos and is constantly fawning over Simon Cowell in a smutty inappropriate manner. This is supposed to be a family show. It is not funny, clever, necessary...just vile, offensive, embarrassing, disgusting and I for one, will not be watching. Nor, I hope, the poor Queen. Yes I know people take "offense" at everything and anything these days and I just think "get over it"...but this time I am incensed by his disgusting comments I just had to complain.

ITV news reporter

There was a story of an entrepreneur from London Mr C Ostwald and his British shop people had complained about the wording of the shop point 1 this is England and we are part of the Union of Great Britain and our national flags are st George and the Union Jack of which we should be proud of not ashamed because a useless party used these flags they are a very small section of our country, we the public are a substantial amount of voters and viewers, and to my main point the reporter was trying to goad and belittle this British businessman the word racist was spewed out nearly every time Mr Ostwald mentions a product that was not reporting that was an attempted assassination of this man trying to get ahead of brexit and show that we as a country do provide products, your reporter should be ashamed of his forced propaganda of the weak views of a minority that are happy to come here seeing visual images of our country and wanting to be part of that heritage then claim that this image upsets them, there's a racist that is the most deplorable racist inciting hatred for there own kind in our society and in our media and your reporter is a typical case, he didn't ask questions on how this shop can explore this British market and play down the stupidity of a few xenophobic anti British people and stop the hate this reporter fuelled the hate and explored the racism of a very brilliant idea, this reporter should make an apology and be warned on the fanning of flames towards pathetic English hating racists
