I saw about half of it and then got bored. I wouldn't pay £5 to see it nevermind £25-£50. I have to admit that it was better than the real Jerry Springer shows which are the biggest load of crap. So bad they are embarrassing. I know a family in the states [I spent easter day with them one year and still email the Mom] and one of the daughters, her cousin and boyfriend were on a show. As everyone knows they are told what to say and how to act and even what to wear in order to make it sensationlist tv. It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't like that.

I found it amusing because it's taking the piss out of the TV show, not because it was like the TV show. And it was quite witty.

Oh, and because of the Ku Klux Klan tap-dancing.

When the KKK went on the real Jerry Springer show, they didn't do tap dancing, did they?

To be honest, I'd be happy to pay an extra 20 quid this year if the BBC *would* screen the play which caused all the complaints in Birmingham.
