Stewart

Stewart is a daytime talk show produced by Emoa Productions for the Network schedule, filmed in Cheviot Studios in Newcastle upon Tyne. It is hosted by Stewart Stone and aims to discuss, resolve and confront issues with its participants infront of a live studio audience.

The programme currently goes head-to-head with ITV's Jeremy Kyle show, but offers a more comprehensive and thorough investigation of problems and aims to avoid frequent confrontation with a focus on talking through issues, optimism and reconciliation in the best interests. It makes use of DNA tests, lie detector tests, speech therapy and common values to approach issues, with a variety of views from the audience of the issue in hand on stage. The show's main support team is headed by Kim O'Mally, who deal with emotional issues both before and after the show and can point participants in the right direction in the most careful and sensible ways. Whilst confrontation does often occur on-screen, it is not encouraged and selects from a far wider range of personal issues from relationship and paternity issues through to family reunions, musical performances and career aspirations.

It was originally produced in Neptune Television's Carlisle studio from August 2006 to July 2007, before being moved to Newcastle where it has remained since.
