The programme made out that he was a jolly, happy go lucky character and that she was a controlling & violent alcoholic. Was this not the case in reality?

Richard, "reality" TV is often far from it.

They cut/slant things, with dramatic music, to create a picture that is often at odds with actual reality.

Positive

He was a jolly, happy go lucky, non violent, thieving, alcoholic but he didn't deserve that, she's started a new life up in Leeds iirc, doesn't appear to have a care in the world, you can only hope a positive came out of this whole sorry saga and she conquered her demons but I doubt it

As long as we get people genuinely coming out with crap like that, domestic abuse will always be seen as a gendered issue by many.

So she slapped her husband and he went to the police, lmfao.

Incredibly cheap TV it is too.

Once upon a time they used to make drama with actors, now they use members of the public/emergency services for free. Suits the short attention span audience these days too.

Holby had a long running storyline about an abused male Doctor. This was male on male abuse. Most of the actual physical details did not come out until the person had the courage to report their attacker.

Casualty has also covered Female on Male DV. Dramas do cover this type of abuse and show how it is the victims who are left unprotected and ignored until something dramatic happens.
