This month's Network, with Anna Ford , deals with 'factual entertainment', a new way of approaching serious issues by encouraging people to relate personal and often painful experiences in studio-based television shows. Tonight's film shows how far this development has already gone in the USA: does it make current affairs more 'real'? Or is it simply a tasteless way to appeal to the viewers?
