    I was wondering the same thing. First person I thought of was Camilla.........or how about Ola? Image Judy's reaction, especially in light of his embarassing question to Emma Bunton!

    Oh yes, I would take great delight on seeing him slip head over arse :D

    If he went on SCD he'd have to go with Ola - I'd love to see Judy's reaction to seeing her gyrating around Richard :eek: :D

    I love this thread. :D Me and my mom are always watching R&J just waiting for another gaff by Madeley.

    Today's show was dreadful. Not really Richard but when they had that really brainy kid on and he couldn't do the sums they challenged him with, I wanted to hide behind the sofa. :eek:

    I had to change the channel. Especially as they left, like, five minutes of silence waiting for the poor mite to answer - then his dad starting saying "but he has a pen and paper at home". I was blushing for him! :o

    The poor wee mite was obviously fazed by being on television, but that didn't seem to occur to R & J.

    LoL!

    I really wanted to watch it yesterday so I could talk about all these ludicrous things with you but I just couldn't bear to!

    I honestly found myself cringing just thinking about watching it! Not a word of a lie!!

    Btw it's "me and my Mum" - not Mom (US spelling). Unless you are of course a US person living here in which case you're allowed ;)

    On topic. Madeley seems to do embarassing like it's mother's milk to him. I recall watching that Extras episode with R&J in, and that after the credits bit at the end, when he was trying to see if he could pick a down's syndrome (IIRC) child from behind. This was clearly meant to be a joke - but it seemed way too like the sort of thing the real Madeley would do for my liking :)

    Actually, it's my mum and me.

    Or, as Richard would say:

    "God, imagine if your mother was your sister? I guess it would be kind of like she gave birth to herself, like one of those snails or something"
    *leans back casually into sofa with arm resting on the back and leg stretched behind Judy's head*

    "Ahaa!"

    Hence the reason Gervais/Merchant put it in the episode in the first place. They know how crazed Richard is.

    Today there was some little girl who was a ballroom dancer, and the boy she had always danced with apparently had 'ditched' her to go and dance with someone else. Richard was like "what a RAT!"

    ...Half an hour later, a sheepish looking Richard announces that the boy's mother had rung up to complain about her son being called a rat on national TV.

    This was brilliant!

    Okay let's have a whipround on this forum and see if we can book him for an hour or so's Partridge esque anecdotes. I can chip in 50p, but maybe someone else runs a fireplace company and is looking for a speaker anyway ? Can I sharpen the spikes on the fence outside. :D

    "Judy! I've pierced me foot on a spike!!"

    :D

    "Judy! I've pierced me foot on a spike!!"

    :D


    Richard: "you pull yours off first"
    Judy: "but my foot's not on a spike"


    Lovely Stuff ! :D:D If they ever get over their Little Britain love-in they should take up some Partridge sketches :)

    Maybe it's Madeley come to correct us - you can take the p*** out of me, but you must get it grammatically correct ;):D:D
