The talk show that puts face to face old enemies and that feeds on grudges and unforgettable sins is too much for audiences in the United Kingdom, say representatives from Flextech, the cable company that distributes 10 American shows in England.

In 1998, Flextech signed a deal with the producing studio of 'Jerry Springer', Universal Studios International, according to which it was to air the show as long as it ran in the US.

In 2001, Flextech canceled it, saying that it contained too many scenes unsuitable for daytime viewing, thus not complying with the UK's Television Commission Code.

Universal sued Flextech for acting this way and breaching the contract, claiming that the latter had no right to cancel the show, as it changed too little over the years.

Lord Justice David Neureberger referred the case to another judge, at the Queen's Bench Commercial Division of the High Court, who must now decide if the show is indeed too indecent to be aired in the UK.

Lord Neureberger ordered the judge to watch at least a few episodes of the total time of 400 hours of the show and, based on that, to decide if Flextech was right when it canceled 'Jerry Springer' in the UK. He also ordered the two companies to reach an agreement on the number of episodes that the judge is to watch.
