This weekend, at last, the parade of grotesque characters and public humiliation comes to an end with the closing episode of ITV's Popstars the Rivals. Recent viewing figures suggest that the genre has begun to run its course, just as its predecessor the docusoap eventually did. But there may be still greater atrocities in store before we see the back of it: we will soon have the unique pleasure of watching Kelly Osbourne vomiting on The Osbournes, and also from America comes word of an RTV show in which contestants volunteer for cosmetic surgery and agonize in humiliating detail about their feelings of unattractiveness. Our sensitivities have been battered unceasingly by the ever-descending levels of taste plumbed by the producers of these shows. But far more insidious and dangerous is the effect they have on our mental health. I have interviewed some of the wannabe contestants and I am sure that, at least in some cases, participation is damaging. And the problem goes beyond that. Compared with, say, soap operas, RTV is more harmful to viewers as well. The content of too much RTV is values-rotting and depression-inducing. For a large slice of the population, watching it has largely replaced social life itself. When we are not at work, viewing other people living their lives on TV now constitutes a considerable part of our existence. Does anyone know how much harm this is doing to us? In 2000 I made a brief film on the subject of the emotional impact of RT1V on contestants, to be discussed by TV professionals at the Edinburgh Television Festival. On the platform were a number of powerful figures, including the head of BBC One and an atavistic RTV producer who could not conceive of any scenario that she would rule out for RTV coverage. There were "no limits," she said, apart from those (very weak ones) that the regulatory authorities placed upon her. For my film I interviewed Alan, a 24-year-old who was about to go on a "desert island" RTV programme. Although of average weight for his height, he believed himself to be plump. He also thought he was ugly and unattractive, yet the production team and I felt he was perfectly good looking. He had underperformed at university, graduating with a 2:2, and had been drifting without clear career plans, doing McJobs. He was not having as much success with girls as he would like. He hoped that he would be a hit as a contestant, and a career in TV presenting would be accompanied by an unlimited supply of babes. Alan was mildly depressed, but instead of confronting this he was pinning his hopes on RTV to raise his mood by raising his status. I suspect that his tale is typical (needless to say, none of the broadcasters has done any research into the psychiatric status and motives of aspirant contestants or their outcomes after appearing, so I can only speculate) because, above all, RTV is a young person's game. A quarter of Channel 4's audience is aged 16-34 but they form half the audience of Big Brother. Hardly any participants in any RTV shows have been over 30 (the honorable exceptions were both BBC endeavors—The Stone Age and Castaway). RTV encourages an "as if" life, a sort of second-hand living, more 6 than any other genre because it blurs the lines between fact and fiction more powerfully than any other. There can be little doubt that it is profoundly damaging. Like a soap opera in reverse, it involves viewers with the characters for weeks on end and in such a way that you easily forget that these are real people. At the same time, to a frightening extent, the young watching RTV are fantasizing that it Could Be Me. People "just like me" are plucked from obscurity and given prominence merely because they happened to be in the right place at the right time. Viewers become so identified with these characters as an extension of themselves that they are far more interested in what happens to the characters than to their own, real, intimates and family. Of course, not everyone is equally at risk of losing their grip on reality. The risk is much greater for people from unstable and emotionally deprived backgrounds-the majority of us. For the minority, probably no more than a third, whose needs were met in early childhood and who come from stable, reasonably harmonious families, modern life provides unprecedented opportunities for self-expression. But for the majority who did not have such a childhood, the plethora of new choices means a high risk of making bad ones-such as wanting to be part of RTV or feeling inappropriately involved as a viewer. Above all, RTV offers young people a fake social life, decreasing the likelihood that they will seek a real one. At the same time, because RTV usually entails some kind of beauty contest in which your personality or appearance are being judged, it fosters destructive social comparisons and induces inauthenticity in the process. 1.
