I assume...
...that was a retelling of a nightmare?
With a hint of the dross we now accept as reality TV and the way it chews up and spits out the very people the crowds and viewers delight in morbidly viewing in the first place?
I don't particularly watch TV, but I have occasionally caught an episode of Jeremy Kyle and managed to feel both a sense of horror at the spectacle with a slightly shameful smugness of "Oh well at least my life will never descend to being on that show..."
I'm glad it's off the air but inievitibly it will soon be replaced with something equally horrific.
