self harm
I wish to complain about the recent episode of Emmerdale, which presented the character, Aaron self harming because of his guilt and saying "it made him feel better". What kind of message is Emmerdale trying to send to it's audience? Especially vunerable young people. I further my concern as Emmerdale is shown before the watershed, thus resulting in a potentially younger audience. I am throughly disappointed and would never expect this from Emmerdale.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Presenters
I wish to complain about the presenters on Loose Women.
Is it ITV's policy to look around for the most annoying presenters, when recruiting for Loose Women?
ITV apparantly is looking to improve viewing figures with the likes of Carol Vorderman (fake laugh, fake personality and overal just plain annoying), Lisa Maxwell (no personality, her annoying life stories and just plain boring), Andrea McLean (Why oh why get rid of Kate Thornton and keep Andrea (me me me) McLean? And last but certainly by no means least, the ghastly Jenny Eclair. Jenny obviously made the programme on the back of I'm a Celebrity Get me out of here. Although to be fair about Jenny, at least she is one of the most genuine presenters on the show but I have got to the stage that she is that annoying that she is becoming unwatchable.
To sum up, there is Entertainment and there is Loose Women. Just don't get the two mixed up.

Joan Rivers swearing with obcene words on a lunch
time programme with my two children in the same room as me aged 3 and 4, disgusting, is there any need for it .Hasnt she got the intellegence to
use a more approprite word without resorting to language like that.surley she knew it was live tv, and being aired at lunch time, I was shocked.
Loose woman has too many Political Topics, which with Lisa Maxwell and Sally Lindsey on the panel, the views expressed become unbalanced, they are basically left wing in their views and their unchallenged views become very annoying.
Sally is also class obsessed and her views are generally old school and do not represent the views of the younger generation and many of the rest of us, as a matter of fact.
I have watched this programme avidly since it started, but now find that the annoyance aroused by the above, makes me turn off the sound for short periods or if recorded 'run it on'. I consider myself to be the average viewer and ignoring this sort of feedback, because it is in-line with general left wing outlook of the BBC will eventually lose you many viewers.
Hope you will consider this complaint properly and redress the balance when these two panelists next express their views.
Rhona -Manchester
You need to get a life!
Makes you wonder if Joan did this on purpose to promote her acting debut in London. Google this and you get quite a lot of reports on it. Whilst I don't agree with the language she used, the media that this will attract surely is a shrewd move by her!?! Makes ya think !?!
make up artist
i think its appaling how the young geordie girl off emmerdale is allowed to be aired wearing that disgusting make up with tide lines, whoever her make up artist is they need telling, its portraying young northeast girls in a bad way im sure i wud not dream of letting my daughter go out looking like a clown
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
She is meant to look like that you wally
You may not let your daughter out like that but others might. Anyway, what is the point of complaining about make up on a soapie- attention?
storyline
I would like to complain about Tuesday the 7th of junes episode of Emmerdale. I think that storyline should not have been filmed this is a family programme and that storyline was not suitable for certain family members.
And another thing is i had a 24 year old brother who was disabled with muscular distraphy, and for the past 2 years he suffered from really bad chest infections, ammonia and pluracy and he died in august 2010. I felt sick watching this programme and thought it was bang out of order to show this story line on the programme.
I would like a reply back with some suggestion what you are going to do about it.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Turn over!
I think you can contact OFCOM about such matters. The law is changing to make the 9pm watershed more tighter as many of the programmes on before that time do have inappropriate material. Sorry about your brother must of been very hard for you to have watched that.
jason gardener
I wish to lodge a formal complaint regarding Jason Gardener's offensive and vulgar comment on tonight's Dancing On Ice.
I am utterly appalled and deeply hurt with Jason’s ‘chromosome missing’ comment. He should be ashamed of himself for thinking such a thing let alone speaking it….
If ITV do not address this issue promptly with an unreservedly apologetic response, there will be anarchy amongst the wider public and chaos will ensue!
My own son has a chromosome deletion which is both ability and life limiting; tonight’s vocal insult has deeply angered and hurt my family. Furthermore, should Jason’s position as a judge, be judged by the viewing public, he would be in the studio back room collecting his P45 and be prohibited from presenting forthwith!
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
sexual content before the watershed
I cannot believe the content of perfume adverts being allowed to be shown after x factor which children follow .Men removing bikinis and another of a naked woman leaning over a naked man .This upset me and my teenage kids as it is clearly not needed and sick of plastic role models for kids or drunk rejects and we pay a license for this trash
dog fighting
I cannot stress strongly enough how disgusted i am at tonights programme, I am that angry i may well never watch this program again,
To portray a bull mastiff ( a very rare dog to see) insinuating it ripping apart a alsation) is totally unfair to peoples mentality, what was the production team thinking of, teenagers who try to use dogs as weapons will now think this is the ace dog or in fact any dog, to have,
What has been portrayed was sick, intimidating and offensive to any dog breed and to me. I do hope the program will carry on this storyline to the point where Police are called and procections made with severe fines, imprisonment etc..
23rd september 2010 8:10pm
I wish to complain about the second part of Emmerdale on the 23rd September where they suggested an attack on Arrans German Shepherd (clide) carried by a bullmastive, this not only offended me and upset me greatly but also gives the bullmastive a bad name. I don't believe there should more prejudice against these animals, they should not be suggesting such vile plots as it is utterly uncalled for and unneeded.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
emmerdale episode 31 October 2014 .
Ashley ex vicar dressed up for Halloween, OCCULT, DEVIL . WITCH worship is setting a bad influence . England used to be a god given Christian country .
a program that promotes the depravity of homosexuality what do you expect, gutless people with no morality causing the world to become more and more brainwashed by showing innocent children the filth that has become the norm in our society, just to make money, do you honestly think they, d stop at hurting an animal I don't think so, when are people going to speak up about what really matters,
Hi Fatannie,
I will be replying to their email, as the dog wasnt a cross breed, and even if it was, I still find it irresponsable to even think the story line was entertainment.
The bullmastiff called Brian was actually a female! in the Bullmastiff world it wont take to long before it is know who owns her
This is a stock reply as i recieved the exact wording too when i complained bitterly about this episode, it was irresponsible and reckless
I emailed ITV viewers services and this is the reply I got...
Dear Julie
Thank you for your recent email regarding Emmerdale.
We obviously appreciate that the scenario of Aaron's dog dying is an emotive one, but Emmerdale was extremely careful to ensure that a fight between two dogs was only ever alluded to and absolutely never seen.
Furthermore, the storyline was portrayed to demonstrate the reckless actions of individuals - not their dogs. The morality of the individuals involved was very clearly drawn, as was the very serious consequence of such actions. It was also never the intent to suggest that any particular breed of dog was dangerous and, as such, the chosen dog was a cross-breed.
The subsequent veterinary treatment of "Clyde" was delicately portrayed, in keeping with the regular treatment of animals on the surgery table within the show. It should also be stressed that no animal was harmed or injured during the filming."
Thank your for taking the time to contact us here at ITV as we always welcome viewers feedback.
Regards

Im glad that im not the only one who feel's strongly about the dog attack on the 23 september, it made my stomach turn. I am a dog lover...and im not happy about the way itv have given certain dog breads such a bad name. I feel their was no need to use a storie line in this way.
Lesley i totaly agree with your comment, and as for emmerdale...i think you have lost yourself quite a few viewers over this, you should hang your head in shame.
marika
Why the hell did Paul O Grady bring this up in his show...I am ashamed of you Paul, I always thought of you as a dog lover, and yet you praised ITV etc and said Aaron should get an award.
I agree with all the complaints above. It was absolutely disgusting. With all the Press and Media coverage concerning illegal dog fighting etc. what gave you the right to think you had the right to put it to the public to view. I know what goes on with animal cruelty but we don't want to see it portrayed in this way. You have upset your viewers and you have upset quite few children as well. SHAME ON YOU EMMERDALE - You don't deserve any Award. Aaron and Jackson are brilliant actors but due to your shambolic episode you have blow your chance of them receiving one.
Thugs use certain breeds of dogs as weapons - you have given them a good opportunity to do just that.
It was unbelievable the amount of abuse I got from your Link because of expressing my views. People with limited intelligence, threats and the like. I have never had to block so many people since I went on face book.
Lesley Musto
i agree aswell with the complaints it was sickning to see the german shepard lay on the floor with blood on is neck distgusted with ITV the showing such a sick act
I agree with the above complaints. The whole programme left me feeling sick and disgusted, not to mention worried that some thugs out there would think this is fun and put ideas into their heads.
There was just no need for the storyline it served no purpose, the guy that had supposedly been sold the car by Aarron had only just come into the programme...I am sickened, and it spoilt my evening.
commentary
The awful football pundits who continually talk such nonsense while the game is being played. During the England vs Bulgaria game I have not heard such utter tripe since the world cup coverage... I give you an example, "Joe Hart almost has an aura about him". While he had a good game, I really think that the commentators should stop waxing lyrical and have a more objective point of view. I ended up turning the sound off to watch the game, and enjoyed it more.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
biggoted remarks
I was shocked and disgusted at the advert for Sky TV shown on STV last night, which is clearly fronting for the world cup.
My objection is the comment, " 5million supporting anyone but england"
which is biggotted and supports sectarianism.
To much of this goes on in Scotland and I would not expect support from a TV ad.
I am one of many English living in Scotland and I will be supporting England as I would Scotland or any other British team if they had made it to the Cup, although now I will not be watching on Skytv and I wil
ensure all my English Family and Freinds using Sky see the Advert for what it is and Cancel their Subscriptions with these people.
If they clame it was tongue in cheek then it was in bad taste and I do not accept it as a bit of fun.
MrJ Wright
They did the same in Wales but with 3 million ... but hey, it's okay because it's only hating the English, so it's okay... Sky using cheap tricks to pander to Welsh bigots - it may come as a shock to them but many of the 3 million in Wales are English or part English.
drugs
emmerdale this week 22nd to 26th march 2010, I could not belive what I was watching, I lost count of how many times the viewers were told its ok to take drugs, cocaine, of all things... My grandson now thinks everyone will try drugs, in fact its a normal thing, even expected while growing up, all thanks to emmerdale, Has this world gone mad? even if they do plan to show it is infact bad to take drugs, I dread to think how many young children will have tried them this week alone, which will have changed the course of a percentage of some of their lives.?... There was not even a warning about the dangers of taking drugs at the end of each programe, They have no right to do this, how many children will have watched it unsupervised, there perents have no idea whats been put in the childs mind this week, its not right

use of hand gesture
I was watching xfactor tonight with my children when towards the end when it was announced who the two were in the final sing off we saw louis walsh make a hand gesture to the public my nine year old son shouted out why is he sticking his fingers up to the audience, as we have sky plus we rewound several times and used live pause and we are convinced louis walsh made a two finger gesture to the audience as this is disgusting when it is before the watershed and the fact that the show is a complete farce I shall not be watching or allowing my kids to watch this show again.

A prostitue has just stolen my wallet, should I report it to the police, or would I be in more trouble than him...i mean her?
He's Irish, what do you expect, you whingers should be pleased that he didnt throw 6Ibs of semtex into the audience? He's probably still smarting from the Potato famine

Read full review of ITV and 36 commentsdanni minogue's comments on x factor
Regardless of whether Danyl is ashamed, not ashamed or not in the slightest bit bothered (as I suspect) about his sexuality, Danni had no right to bring it up in a public forum like she did. The last time I looked the X Factor was at worst a talent competition, at best a singing competition, therefore the sexual orientation of one of its contestants should be irrelvalent.
Personally I think the fact Danni is feeling the need to stoop so low in her comments on the very first show quite telling. And she also needs to bear in mind the huge gay following her sister attracts, as lets be honest here, it's not really her talent as a artist that people admire.
Her apology appeared to be little more than lip service and due to the tragic death of Stephen Gately it appears her commently unwarrented comments have been ignored. Danni should not be allowed to make such comments and then hide behind the fact that 'Danyl was not offended by them'. Regardless of whether he was or not, a lot of people were and using a persons sexuality as some kind of cheap, point scoring exercise is not acceptable.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
xfactor
I was shocked last night by Danniis insensitive and stupid comments but tonight's show was for me and my family far more offensive. How could Robbie Williams be allowed to sing a blasphemous song like that on a family show on national television? Would it have been allowed if he was insulting allah and the muslims - no of course not. So why was this allowed?
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I am utterly dissapointed in this show.I was under the impresion this was a singing contest, this seems not to be the case.The contest between the judges seen to be over looking the contestants as you can clearly see with louis keeping the terrible twin who can not hold a note. something needs to be done about this you are clearly ripping the fans off. I for one will not be watching the show again as it is not as advertised this is the nations search for a star every year the judges put throught talentless no hopers because it annoys another judge when other talented people are sent home. The jugdes are using peoples lives for thier own amusement and that simply is not right.
I agree totally with this comment. As a visitor I was shocked to see how this nation has shifted in it's tolerance of blasphemy on a family show. It would not have been allowed on a prime time show if Mohammed, Islam, Buddha, Krishna were mentioned in such a blasphemous way. It is an offensive song and ITV were wrong to broadcast it.
I also heard no humour in Dannii Minogues's comment to Danyl Johnson about the gender issue..look at the man's face for his reaction - he was hurt by it anyone could see that.
danii minogue
As a 52 year old woman, I was outraged by dannii's irrelevant comment about danyl's sexuality.She's supposed to be judging his singing voice, which incidentally is excellent, and his sexuality is totally priavte to him and irrelevant to the competition. She certainly should apologise for causing him any embarassment, in fact she should be removed as a judge. If she says she doesn't mean to be homophobic what was the relevance of the comment? i don't understand. Good bye danni your time is up. And my 83 year old mother agrees with me - outrageous behaviour!
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
i totally agree with your coments after all what does miss minogue know about talent she lives off her sisters fame and always has done
danni minogue's comments
My wife and I found Danni Minogue's comments on X-factor tonight extremely repulsive. Browsing through numerous internet sites, we saw a growing crowd of ITV viewers asking for Danni's resignation from the talent show, plus or minus a public apology for discrimination on public TV!! I think she has forgotten very quickly that her only claim to fame and...
Read full review of ITV and 22 commentsderogatory remark against sexuality
I was disgusted by Danni making a sexist remark to Danyl. This was a direct hit at his sexuality and a deliberate attempt to get him voted out of the xfactor. Whether he is hetrosexual or homosexual is irrelevant it was not commented on by anyone else and neither should it be.
If she is homophobic then she should be removed as a judge, if this was a deliberate attempt to humiliate and alienate someone then she should never be in a position to be a mentor or voice her opinions.
I will be filing a complaint from my organisation as well as this personal one as a public figure should promote values and understanding not 1950 opinions!
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I too was totally disgusted by Danni's sexist remarks to Danyl. Direct comment on National television on his sexuality is totally inappropriate and irrelevant in a singing competition. Such a deliberate attempt to discredit him should result in her being told to leave the show and a more suitable judge found. There is no place for comments like these. As a minimum she should make a public apology at the start of tonights show and face internal disciplinary. It was a deliberate attempt on her part to publicly humiliate him and that is nothing short of disgraceful.
What with the phone scandal last year and this disgraceful and totally inappropriate behaviour this year, I think this should be the last series of the x-Factor.
