Reviews and Complaints

Watching the rugby World Cup I notice that itv have got the studio team what they think is PC I.E. during the Australia/Georgia match they have a coloured man a coloured woman and an English man but I must ask where is the Irish,Scottish or welsh representative. Do they think that having a representative from these countries when they are playing is PC. They obviously don’t realise that these things matter but to residents from the other countries it does.

On Friday, 8th September during most of the broadcast Charline White was twiddling her biro whilst presenting the news. Very distracting but also very disrespectful when reporting the anniversary of the Late Queen Elizabeth.

In addition to this your reporters stated that Prince William & Kate were at St. David's in Wales. Please could you use her correct name, Catherine as Price William has often requested. After all you would never have reported the Queen as Liz!

You used to put a caption, on top of your screen, saying something like 'let's get Britain talking'. Now, you contradict that, to the cost of some peoples mental health, including my own. At the start of Corrination street, you have two argos characters, one telling the other not to talk until the adverts, and she shushes the dragon twice. How rude and detromental to peoples mental health

Was absolutely disgusted to see Charlene white,talk about the ulez. The way she spoke to the priest laughing his in debt due to having to purchase a new motorbike. Due to ulez coming in today. Then laughs and says least you got a new bike outside…

This is not acceptable by her or anyone who is struggling.

This isn’t the first time she has pushed her luck. How you continue to have the rude woman reporting on utv news I will never know. Utterly disgusting behaviour

Absolutely disgraceful itv your 24,7 weekly repeats of bond films over n over again the same animation kids films and old cooking rubbish repeating on all your channels is a joke! Gameshows horse racing and yet more repeats every week week in week out! All the money your making through even more adverts and all we get is repeats repeats and more repeats!¡ get s grip itv what a disgrace of a broadcasting company you are! It's getting worse,10 mins of adverts every 8 min repeated films take forever cos of excessive advertising! Disgraceful Absolutely scrapping the barrel again! It's about time you reviewed your [censored] and made seriously changes itv! Other channels are far better with more recent films and interesting programs,what's itvs problem? And your weekly morning live [censored] programs all need reviewed asap! It's time for change!

Crap app

Takes forever to load

When it’s finally loaded it Jumps about app so you can’t select anything

If you stop something and return later there is no facility to pick up where you left off, so need to fast forward to roughly the correct point

But fast forward only x12 ! Takes forever

Please don’t blame my internet services because I looked on trust pilot and your rating is 96% terrible , we can’t all have bad internet connection

I pay £3.99 a month for this appalling service plus I lodged a complaint 26/6/23 not heard a bean from you.

SORT THIS RUBBISH OUT

The ITV news on 11th July was the tragic news that a young girl was stabbed by a Paranoid Schizophrenic. Although this is very sad and devastating.

Why must you state that the killer had Paranoid Schizophrenia. As this makes it sound as though all people with this illness are murderers. Which is totally untrue. Would you state that a person with Cancer committed a murder?..

No you wouldn’t so please do not judge all people with mental illness.

I was very disappointed to see the lack of questioning of the Home Secretary this morning regarding her departments disgusting policy of removing cartoons from a children’s asylum seekers hostel. What made it even more disappointing was the aggressive questioning of the just stop oil protester who was quite obviously chosen for her passion rather than her knowledge to undermine the justifiable protests. Also very disappointing to see Ed Balls who I normally find to give a fair hearing to his guests trying to be little his guest for agreeing with someone for spoiling his friends wedding which I would imagine he attended

Why has the Chase been ditched for coverage of Ascot.

You have a popular programme with a loyal following and you ditch it for horse racing ?!

What are you trying to achieve by messing up the schedules like this?

This is not the first time you have sacrificed the loyalty of your regular viewers for elitist sports programmes . And not just a day but the whole bloody week!

I am appalled at the melodramatic reporting around the missing sub diving to see the Titanic on this evening news. There was so much melodrama around the lack of air, lack of previous rescue successes (the only positive rescue was at 500 feet!) and how dire the situation was with NO regard for the families waiting for news. Ending with a statement that there is only enough air until thursday. How about reporting the facts, with none of the drama and ending with a positive message that there is still two days of air left so the hope is that with international support a successful rescue is still expected! Shame on you ITV for shocking and insensitive reporting.

Dear Sir,

I have been watching Emmerdale ever since it was called Emmerdale Farm and Annie Sugden was in it …Then it was a good program to watch with good storylines and colourful characters.

What on earth has happened ..? There is now zero storylines and the new characters that have been brought in really need acting lessons !

The program has become so dull that sadly I am no longer interested in watching it.

The vicar Charles and his ever growing family all need axing …sorry !

I cannot understand how he can be allowed to say the things he is saying.

First and foremost, when he was first with Ruth he was still married and was seeing Ruth in secret. Secondly, and more importantly, his obvious desire to ruin

Phillip completely is as a result of his pride being seriously dented when employed on This Morning. He also appears to want to damage in its entirety ITV. He doesn't seem to care what damage his behaviour is doing to the lad in the middle of this drama, his own sons, his wife and all those employed on This Morning, such is the depth of his bitterness and jealousy. He has said on numerous occasions how he was the experienced journalist and wasn't treated with the appropriate billing he thought he deserved. Obviously, he didn't get the point that they wanted presenters, and I am afraid Eamonn was not one of those. Yes, he could be quite amusing, but that was normally at someone else's expense. Phillip Schofield, in my opinion, is without doubt the most accomplished presenter on TV and I personally think Holly will struggle to retain her popularity without him. Lastly, if the young man in question can't take anymore of what has been going on, Eamonn Holmes will have blood on his hands. It appears to me that this lad was coerced by somebody to make this public and maybe even paid to do it. Eamonn Holmes has stooped so low with even today inviting anybody who has kissed Phillip to come forward, could he not be that person. Just saying, but do try and get him to stop. I hope his current employers see him now as a huge liability and give him the push.

On Sunday night the 4th of June 2023, we sat down as a family to watch the Final episode of Britain's Got Talent. It was about 8pm and the first load of adverts were coming up. I left the room to do something in the kitchen, when I returned my 5 year daughter said "Mummy, I just saw two boys kissing each other on the lips." She was shocked and confused. This was on some advert, unfortunately, I did not get which advert it was, but it put me in an awkward situation 1) I did not want to get into a discussion on this with a 5 year old 2) this is not the first time I have seen sexual content put on air when you know families will be watching with their children.

I understand we are to be respectful towards people who choose to have a sexual orientation to same sex relationships, but I don't agree with the constant propaganda to advertise it as normal and feel we are being spoon fed all the time by the media on it.

I say, let people get on with their lives and respect the rights to all. But we don't need constant bombardment of advertisements displaying women kissing women, or men kissing men. Do this privately, get on with your lives but respect our rights to our values and views. Children don't need to get into these discussions so early on in their lives. They find it confusing. I know you are trying hard to normalise it, but at the end of the day, there really is no need to put on adverts of same sex persons kissing each other. I think the majority of people feel the same as I do. And putting it on air knowing children are watching, well says it all really...

I found his comments today on live TV utterly shocking. I am ashamed of how a person in his public position can act in such a publicly unkind manner. He is angry with Phillip Schofield, fine, but that does not give him any excuse to provoke and deliberately stir hatred towards him.

Where is his decency? Where is his sense of maturity and responsibility to do the right thing? How many twisted people with a desired to cause more drama or lie to get some fame or fortune could respond to his request to come forward and tell more stories to damage Phillip Schofield further. What type of person get pleasure or gain from increasing another humans suffering. Like I said - this is shocking and disturbing.

Does he not think of the innocent people like his daughters and elderly mother who are affected not just him?

I work in mental health and I would strongly advise you to send Eamonn Holmes to occupational health before he actively insights even more unhealthy hatred in his clear unstable judgements live on TV. I will no longer be watching GMB whilst he is on the show.

As a Gladiators fan, I’m really disappointed to hear that old Bradley Walsh and his insipid, talentless son are going to head up the new Gladiators. Britain had some fabulous athletes and high achievers like Fatima Whitbread, Ashley Banjo, Linford Christie, Ian Wright, Aj, all of the retired England men’s/ladies football team, cricketers, gymnasts, heavy weight lifters so, why on earth have you chosen this duo! I hasten to add I’m the same age as Bradley Walsh, but it’s time to bench him. Please tell me I’m wrong and it was just fake news.

ITV should be ashamed of themselves for behaving in a homophobic and distasteful way. It’s a witch hunt. If it had been a heterosexual affair then it would have been ignored I have no doubt.

Why do you want to punish someone who felt that they couldn’t be truthful.

It’s a dIsgrace and I can no longer sit here without speaking out.

Your ‘morality’ is totally objectionable.

Hi I was enjoying an episode of tipping point so the time I think was around 4.30pm ish. Then it went to the adverts where I was shocked that an ad for erectile dysfunction was shown. I thought these types of ads were only to be shown after the watershed at 9pm …there are children watching at this time and they do not need to see or hear about adult issues.

A rather distasteful and contemptuous woman by the name of Adjoa Andoh very rudely described the palace balcony appearance of our royal family as "terribly white". I found this unnecessarily offensive and insulting.

She should not appear in any UK television again. If she was to be called "terrible black" or terribly stupid, she would be into claiming compensation when she is the worst case of racial prejudice I have heard. It is as ifshw used the 'N' word backwards.

Dead sir / madam

I’m adding my complaint to the no doubt many complaints you’ve received regarding the off the cuff comments by Adjoa And oh during the coronation of King Charles. I regard her comments regarding the balcony as ‘terribly white’ to be vile, hateful and deeply divisive. While I understand you have no ability (or want) to censor such vile statements from being uttered. You do hold responsibility for her inclusion in this panel of commentators in the first place. You're most known of her ‘leaning’ and her prior views. So in some misguided attempt at ‘balance’ you continued to allow her platform. While you (personally) may feel she has every right to say what she did, I ask you to question yourself as to the effect her words had on the population/viewers at large. To what end. What was gained? It added a note of bitterness to all who heard. Those who had no view or weren’t thinking as such suddenly had a view. And suddenly took a position. Not a good position in either direction. YOU allowed this to happen. You. Your weak minded choice allowed a wedge to be driven where none needed to be. As such, you should issue a public apology for your channel's actions. You/ITV management are of course are terrified, weak of spirit and free of spine (so this I’m quite sure won’t happen). So in lieu. Pls remember you allowed an extreme to be openly propagated. Hate was shown. (And Hate begets hate). And so it grows a bit more in all communities. Utter shame on you, ITV.

Grow a backbone.

"JESUS [censored]ING CHRIST"

Over 3 milllion people in the UK attend Churches every Sunday throughout the country to worship Jesus Christ.

I want to ask the following questions:

1. "Do you at ITV consider that it is acceptable to add the word '[censored]ing' in the middle of that precious name?

2. Can you envisage anytime when ITV would use that horrible word in the same sentence as Muhammad or the leader of any other religion. If not, then why are you biased against the Christian faith?

3. Do you know that the Bible states that we will all have to give an account of every idle word that we have spoken?

4. Are you aware that Philippians chapter 2 declares that one day everyone of us (ITV bosses, drama writers and actors included) will bow the knee before Jesus and will confess that He is Lord?

5. Will you issue an apology to those of the Christian faith and confirm that you will do your best to ensure that there is no repeat of that blasphemy?

P.S. I know that it is legal to use the name of Jesus in that way but is that what a responsible broadcastor ought to lower its standards to?
