Live court TV, would you watch it ?

[Shrek]

Just watching sky news reports on some of the court cases regarding the riots.
The reporter just mentioned that SKY are campaigning to have “Live” reporting from inside courts.
Do you think this would be a good idea?
Would it make people think more about their actions if they were going to broadcast on TV or would they think they are the next reality TV stars ?

So main question - Would live court cases be good TV and would you watch it?

Ever been in court? It's not exactly exciting.

I suppose it's a bit like test cricket, I'd wait for the highlights on Channel 5

If they brought in celebrity judges I might watch. I'd tune in to see Charlie Sheen send someone down for life.

It might be good for TV for nosey parkers, but not good for the judicial process. So, no, it's a shit idea.

That'd be good... I'd tune in to see Hulk Hogan call a looter a jabroni.
