Channel 4 viewers all had the same question following the first episode of The Jeremy Kyle Show: Death on Daytime yesterday (Sunday, March 13).
Many viewers were disappointed that Graham Stanier, the show’s counsellor, hadn’t taken part in the documentary.
The Jeremy Kyle Show documentary
Back in 2019, after 14 years on television, Jeremy Kyle’s hit ITV programme was axed.
In May 2019, Steve Dymond, a man from Portsmouth, was found dead at his home after taking his life.
It emerged that Dymond had filmed an episode of The Jeremy Kyle Show the week before his death.
In the show, he had ‘failed’ a lie detector test, in which it was ‘proven’ he had been unfaithful to his partner – something he denied.
Documentary on The Jeremy Kyle Show
Over the weekend, Channel 4 aired a the first episode of a two-part documentary on the cancellation of the show.
The documentary took a look at the impact the show had on British TV.
It also looked at its downfall, and how Dymond’s death led to the show’s cancellation.
However, one thing about the documentary seemed to bother some viewers.
Graham Stanier, the on-air counsellor, didn’t appear at all in the documentary. Some viewers weren’t happy about that.
Many took to Twitter to complain.
How did viewers react?
Plenty of viewers took to Twitter to ask where Graham was.
“Where is Graham the ‘psychologist’ in all this?” one viewer asked.
“Where is Graham, the psychologist? ‘The legend’ as #JeremyKyle referred to him. I’d like to hear his thoughts on this,” another said.

“If there was no ‘after care team’, what was the point of Graham? Where is Graham? Is he actually a psychologist? Would love to hear his perspective on things,” a third tweeted.
“Would love to hear what Graham, the Jeremy Kyle Show’s in-house psychologist and mental health professional has to say about all this,” another said.
Indeed, Graham does make an appearance in episode 2 (Monday, March 14).
The second episode of Jeremy Kyle Show: Death on Daytime airs on Channel 4, tonight, at 9pm.
