The Kyle Files - Season 4
Season 4
Jeremy Kyle returns for a new series investigating high-profile issues that impact on people's lives - from drug-taking to acid attacks, and from body obsession to overstretched emergency services.
Each week, Jeremy and the Kyle Files team get to the heart of the matter as they work with the emergency services, film covertly, interview victims and confront protagonists to demand answers.
Episodes
Cannabis
In the first episode in a new series of 'The Kyle Files, Jeremy Kyle investigates the law surrounding cannabis. Opinion is still divided; some think that it's no worse than having a pint, but others see it as a gateway to more addictive drugs. However, clinical trials are suggesting that cannabis could be beneficial for conditions like MS and epilepsy, so is it time to think again about changing the law?
Overstretched Services
With regular headlines appearing in the newspapers about how public services are overstretched - from patients being treated in hospital corridors to the fire service being put under pressure, Jeremy goes out with frontline staff to find out the real impact of government cuts. During the show, he rides along with paramedics, police and firefighters as well as visiting a GP's surgery to see how cuts are affecting staff morale, and their fears about the future.
Body Obsession
In the light of successful programmes like Love Island, Jeremy investigates the latest trend for men to risk their health by using steroids to create the perfect body. He hears from a grieving mother the true danger men put themselves in when injecting steroids, he confronts a steroid dealer, a user tells his story, and laboratory tests reveal shocking results from steroids purchased from different gyms.
War on Drugs
This time, Jeremy looks into how authorities are dealing with users and dealers of class A drugs like heroin and cocaine. He speaks to a former undercover policeman who after years of putting dealers behind bars now believes the only way to win the war is the regulation of drugs. Two teenagers tell him how they have been selling drugs since the age of 14 in rural towns and cities - known as the ‘county lines'. And he talks to a gang that says the vast amounts of money they can make is their main draw to dealing.
Dangers of the Internet
While using the internet, social media, and free wifi hotspots is now an everyday occurrence for many, Jeremy asks whether people should be better educated about the danger they could be putting themselves in. He meets paedophile hunters Dark Justice, who tell him online grooming is a growing issue and give him a demonstration of how they detect it. And he sets up a social media experiment which reveals how little people know about the risks of posting details about their lives online.
Acid Attacks
This time, Jeremy investigates what the authorities are doing to clamp down on the growing trend of acid attacks in London.
He follows Met Police officers as they show him how they deal with an acid attack, and what they are doing to try to limit the availability of the ingredients that gangs are using to perpetrate their crimes. The programme hears from the victim of an unprovoked random attack about the impact on her life - not just from the physical disfigurement but from mental scars which meant she was left fearing leaving her home. And Jeremy confronts an ex-gang member who admits he has thrown acid on someone before.
