Ross Kemp has criticised the state of current affairs coverage in the UK, saying it has been “dumbed down”.
Kemp is set to return with a new Sky 1 series soon, looking at the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder on armed forces members.
Kemp said: “For over a decade the nation has witnessed the very visible scars and damage war has had on troops and support workers, but this is not the case of hidden effects of post-traumatic stress disorder and associated conditions.
“The haunting trauma of war can be carried with these people for many years. I hope this documentary made for Sky 1 will go some way to address the issues, stigmas and ways in which we can help those suffering, safeguarding them for the future.”
Kemp is also taking part in a second season of Extreme World.
“We’re very happy that we got recommissioned. We felt the first series was pretty groundbreaking. I think there’s a lot of dumbing down in terms of what current affairs are about. I know I’m in an odd situation because I came from an acting background but I love doing what I do presently.”
