The court was shown video clips of Mr Dymond being advised about the processes of the lie detector test.

Mr Wissun said: 'This was a very well-established editorial feature of the programme.

'The result of the test would be given by the polygraph examiner to the producer.

'There was an element of drama in that moment.'

Mr Wissun said that the lie detector test was not offered to anyone currently diagnosed with depression. 

He added: 'The lie detector test was a feature of the show which had been used by the show throughout its run.

'Quite a lot of potential guests applied to come on the show specifically to take a lie detector as Mr Dymond did.'

Mr Wissun said the show recognised 'early on' the need to provide aftercare services which he said was expanded to provide support by the welfare team to guests 'at all stages of recording'.

He added: 'The show didn't target unstable people, part of the process was only people who were able to take part and competent in mental health terms to take part should do so.

'It's true the show sought people to take part who had an issue or a problem, that was the central purpose of the show to try and discuss and hopefully resolve the problems.'

Mr Wissun also told the inquest that the potential vulnerability of guests was 'recognised by the fact that the show had its own bespoke aftercare team'.

'Not all programmes, in fact very few programmes, had its own team of medically trained welfare people,' he added.

Mr Wissun said he was told the audience was not directed to be 'hostile or derisory' towards guests.

He said: 'We were told that the audience was not being deliberately directed to be hostile or derisory towards guests, they were there to watch what happened and watch what was said and their responses were a natural reaction of a group of people listening to the same story.

'In this particular episode I think at one point Jeremy does turn to the audience and asks for 비아그라 구매 사이트 a straw poll of who believes Mr Dymond.'

Mr Wissun said he was told Kyle was 'very receptive' to advice from the aftercare team about whether he needed to adapt or soften his presenting style for particular guests.

He said it was a 'very important' part of guest welfare processes that guests were giving 'informed consent' to take part and that they 'understood the nature of the format and also the style of the presenter'.
