Channel 4's shock docs pay dividends in ratings

Article Abstract:

The stringent checking of trailers at Channel 4 for its "Bodyshock" series is paying rich dividends in terms of audience ratings and market share. However, there could be some ethical issues related to the documentaries like "The 80 Year Old Children", which shows children who are afflicted with a rare disease that makes them age very rapidly. While Channel 4 will make profit, its unlikely that these children will gain anything from this shocking exploitation of their plight.
