ITV Good morning britain - Richard madeley

Of all the times I have watched your program, I have never been most disgusted, and appalled at the interviewing technique of said presenter (Richard madeley) it was the most embarrassing, and not to mention rudest interview I have had the misfortune to witness.

The pure vitriol that was portrayed was revolting to watch. You seriously have to rethink his position/role in this show before he damages it any further. And here I was thinking you had finally got rid of the rude and underhand interviewing techniques when you decided to eliviate piers from his duties...obviously not.

Desired outcome: Desired outcome - please remove Richard Madeley from the show

ITV ITV trailer for Love Island

The use of sacred music to advertise is offensive. On current trailers for the forthcoming season of Love Island, a piece of music from Preisner's "Requiem for my friend" is used. "Lacrimosa" means Day of Tears, it was written as a prayer and to express grief and mourning at the painful loss of a friend and is part of a requiem. Instead it is used here to advertise a reality show. Considering the amount of music to choose from for such trailers this choice is inappropriate, unnecessary and very disrespectful.

Desired outcome: The music should be changed and more care taken in future with regard to the choice of music used.

ITV Royal junkie programme Sunday night

I felt it very disappointed with your covering of the juberlie pageant on Sunday

Two many speech*s two much over talking by the commentators

Too many fast camera shots changes and two fast!

I know your a Comerica tv network but out of respect for Her majesty the Queen

Please don't show commercials during this type of programming

I'm sure 2.5 hours of no add breaks would help a more enjoyment veiwing

Experience and cut the programme down two two hours!

ITV Sejal Karia, ITV reporter, reported "seven Black women accused Tim Westwood"

Dear Sir/Madam,

On this evening's programme, 27th April 2022, Sejal Karia reported on the evening news, and online, “Seven Black women have accused Tim Westwood of sexual misconduct and predatory behaviour.” I would like to express how dissatisfied I am that Ms Karia felt it a necessity to state the skin colour of these women. Channel 4 News reported, “Several women”, which remains factual.

Race is a protected characteristic. Ms Karia, or other reporters, to my knowledge, have not specified “White women”, or “White men” when referencing a criminal investigation. The perpetuation of the normalised absence of the term “White people” in negative news reporting and the pathologised presence of “Black people” makes the reporting of this story discriminatory.

It was reported that Tim Westwood has stepped down from his position and cancelled several appearances which will induce anger among his fans. Referring to the colour of their skin incites the demonisation of Black women, contributing to wider racial tension and racism. Had these women been White, or indeed Asian, would Ms. Karia have reported, “Seven White women have accused Tim Westwood of sexual misconduct and predatory behaviour?” Absolutely not.

I strongly believe there should be an apology to all Black British women from Ms Karia and ITN. Thank you for your time and consideration, I look forward to your response.

Yours faithfully

Andrea

ITV Programme 'grace'

This programme was aired at 8pm this evening. I didn't start watching until 9 pm but I'm upset to think that scenes in this programme were aired as early as 8pm when children or teenagers could have seen it by accident. I have no idea if a warning was given before the start but in my opinion the scenes of sadomasochism, dismembered bodies, use of a knife have been too horrible to watch for me as an adult.

Please could you cut such violent, disturbing and unnecessary from further episodes.

Desired outcome: To explain why it is necessary to show such disturbing scenes especially at this early time in the evening.

ITV News

Gave up watching BBC news some time ago very one sided and Woke. Seems ITV news has gone the same way. I’m not Boris Johnson’s biggest fan. But time to move on from party gate and infighting. And why Haven’t ITV added a little something on the latest news from the Ministry of Defence on small boats crossing the channel. None have been reported crossing for at least 3 days now.

And that’s only since I’ve been checking. I think this is very news worthy. Quite a drop from the highest ever count of 900 on one day. And not a single immigrant sent to Rwanda. I and people I have spoken to think it’s very news worthy.

Desired outcome: More varied news to be given on Uk. It’s exactly the same on every channel

ITV Good Morning Britain

I’m writing to complain about Good Morning Britain and the interview with the climate activist on 11th April at 7.50am.

The interview was an appalling case of bullying as well as an opportunity lost to help viewers understand the severity of the situation we face in the climate crisis. GMB and it’s interviewers came across as narrow minded and also biased.

With the severity of the situation, the media has a real responsibility to educate the public on the climate crisis. This was a perfect opportunity where the public could have learnt about Govt plans and failings.

Instead the focus was on the activist’s clothing.

We genuinely have no hope if media institutions such as ITV undermine the message of climate activists and stir up public antipathy towards them. The focus should be on ‘let’s all work together and what can we do’ rather than deride those who are trying to do something.

GMB increasingly is so narrow minded and is building a base of viewers who are similarly narrow minded. ITV has a duty to disband it or insist on a different focus and values. Shame on ITV and shame on GMB

Desired outcome: Remove GMB or change its’ interviewers. Or insist on a change in values and tack when it comes to climate change and honest reporting

ITV ITV news coverage of "party gate" Number 10 parties

The coverage of the above was extensive and completely over shadowed the war in Ukraine where civilians are being tortured and killed. How can you justify the time you spent on "party gate". I believe you have a responsibility for ensuring that you present the news in a balanced and impartial way. The large number of the population want the Government to get on with the business of running the country and diplomatically supporting those countries in need of our help.

I switched from BBC news as it was very biased in its presentation, I hope your news presentations do not end up this way.

Terence

Desired outcome: I hope you do not continue to push this story, and instesd support the people of Ukraine by giving the the coverage their plight deserves.

I think you need to revisit your comment "The LARGE majority" of the uk want to move on from Partygate... that's a very Broad assumption there, but I feel you are sooooooo wrong...and you certainly don't represent me!

Thank you for your comment, however you have incorrectly quoted from my text. I wrote "The large number .." , not the LARGE majority. Both are very different. I suggest you revisit your comment.

Hi Jasmin

I think you need to revisit your comment. I did not write "The LARGE majority" I wrote The large number. Both have entirely different meanings.

Absolute joke Cher winning. I feel sick and am convinced it was a fix. In fact I am so sick to my stomach I am struggling to think about anything else but this massive miscarriage of justice. Tina smashed it and Streisand was just as good. Really ITV, me and my family are disgusted.

Another absolutely disgraceful tone deaf incident on this morning again! A posh holiday and first class flight in a get away segment of show which was totally unacceptable given the state of economy and people struggling to pay bills and shopping etc, absolutely takes the piss! Stop focusing on rich people who don't struggle at all it's a day time show with single parents watching who can't afford to go away pr buy expensive wines etc we aren't all phillis n holly on mega overpaid wages! Start considering the the real world and what's happening in our country! What an absolute disgrace this show is becoming! Sending celebrities away to expensive luxury locations to advertise a holiday or cash competition is uncalled for totally irresponsible of you n takes the piss out of struggling viewers who struggle to feed kids and heat their homes! This show needs a re think and fast! More n more complaints everyday and us switching off!

ITV 6 Nations Pundit Line Up

Why do we have to suffer english pundits within matches of the 6 Nations rugby when england are not playing. Then as tonight, ALL the pundits are english with no representation from the French? Couldn't you find anyone French in the middle of Paris? Vive La France!

It is not just rugby there are many commentary panel totally biased to the english. Please be less bias to the other competitors and have a bit of respect for the other nations.

Desired outcome: See a more impartial panel with a more diverse representation to the competing countries.

All other channels out rank and seem better and more with the times with new films etc than itv! Ever thought of all this.. its true! What's happening to ITV!

ITV Morning ITV3 Lorraine

Always a lovely upbeat programme but concerns over the promotion of fast/throwaway fashion slot. These clothes are often made from non recyclable materials, made in far away places which has a huge impact on the ecology of our planet. Why not have a slot re ecological, sustainable approaches to fashion so the audience can make more informed choices. Are you aware that the fashion industry is one of the most polluting industries of our environment. I look forward to you addressing this issue.

Desired outcome: Answer and action to address.

ITV We’re not all football supporters!!

Can you please stop force feeding us with football! You’ve got other channels, use them and keep the normal programmes on ITV 1. I now spend most of my TV time watching YouTube, Netflix and Amazon Prime because of the rubbish that is on the Top 5 channels. All I watch on ITV now is the local news and Emmerdale. Can’t stand GMTV anymore since Brexit and the presenters are absolutely rubbish(and I thought they were supposed to be impartial) I never thought I’d rather watch BBC Breakfast, but yes it’s far more entertaining.

Very very disappointed in ITV, but what do you care, I’m just 1 person amongst millions.

Desired outcome: Stop moving our favourite soaps in favour of football. Put the football on another itv channel.

ITV The voice senior netherlands

In 2019 I was a candidate in The Voice Senior 2019. I reached The Finals. Because of the #me too affair now taking place within The Voice Netherlands. This has resulted in a full investigation, rightfully so, of course, but it has resulted in all the clips from all the three categories, Voice Kids, The Voice & Voice Senior have all been taken down. This has caused us Seniors who had nothing but nothing to do with the whole sordid happenings much distress. Our pride, our joy but also our incomes - they were our CV's. They were what people saw, in my case, when going to my spot in the booking agency I am with. CV gone.

Our contract was with Talpa Netherlands and not with ITV - or am I wrong?

Desired outcome: We feel victimised and want our clips back up. At least The Seniors.

ITV Your game show and the contestants on lingo

07/22/22

My good lady and myself watch your LINGO quiz show all the time and have enjoyed in the most part, today was a similar program to one a few weeks ago, which really upset me, on a family game show, shown in the afternoon where children must likely watch with their parents, if not on there own.

I refer to the blatant showing and promotion of lesbian, and homosexuality, having people who are in this type of relationship on your show in the afternoon is in my opinion NOT in the best taste, the show a few weeks ago { I gin't remember the date} had two young ladies in it and each time they got a word right they hugged and kissed or kissed in a very knowing way, to made it known they lesbians, which was obviously anyway. Today's show was as bad showing two homosexuals rubbing one another hugging and kissing. this on afternoon TV sorry totally unacceptable, and if this okay to let viewers see what next, have standards dropped that much that it does not matter what you show or when, :O: let me say I have nothing against any of the people who like the same sexual partners, however I do dislike it being promoted on afternoon TV, where viewers of a young age might be somewhat swayed to try this, it must be okay it was shown on main stream TV.

Do not get me wrong children will find their own way to express sooner or later, but please in future Tell your Guests to behave if they are of this ilk

A Not TOO Happy Viewer Ron S

Desired outcome: apologise please
