What about when they were talking about terrorism and Richard said to Judy something like 'well they're not likely to think television presenter Judy Finnegan is carrying a bomb!'

That's true though, would you suspect it?

Ominously, they seem to be preparing for a dynasty: they mention their moody daughter Chloe (pictured here - clicky - with a rather creepy 'fatherly' arm round her waist) just about every day (even mentioning her to a bemused Jennifer Anniston), and Dickie seems to take her (instead of Jude) to every premiere these days. Maybe it'll soon be 'Richard and Chloe' and Jude will stay at home drinking the Guinness.

You're right about the mentions of Chloe - constant and with an increasing frequency and air of familiarity. They used to say "our daughter Chloe", now they usually just say "Chloe".

I am sure one day we'll tune in and Chloe will be on the sofa. They'll say, "phew, she has just stepped in at the last minute" due to some imaginary emergency, when in reality she has been groomed in a mock TV studio in a Hampstead basement since childhood.

Chloe will then take over from Judy permanently, with the explanation that it was discovered she was "a natural" when she stood in for her mother "at the last minute...no really, with absolutely no preparation whatsoever"... Euch, like Des and Mel but creepier, if that's possible.

BB Lea the other day offered her services should Judy "need a rest". Although I don't think that someone older than Judy should be her replacement.

[gkmacca]

You're right. And, of course, Judy falls ill with 'The Flu' - never a common cold, always 'The Flu' - every few weeks, so they have a ready-made window of opportunity.

did anyone see him playing the fruit machine game on yesterdays show. He was getting very over excited.

[gkmacca]

He probably thought someone was going to pull his plums up.

Richard's eyebrows look big and gingery today.

Roman expert Guy de la Bedoyere is on. Judy pronounced his surname "de la Bedwear" which amused me as I was just thinking that her outfit today (baby blue camisole/satin ribbon trim with a peach chiffon kimono-sleeved wrap) is even more negligee-inspired than usual.

I haven't read all this thread but I do bloody love them. It is like a comedy hour every night, while I am making the tea.

Them 2 together, you couldn't make it up, and makes the Paul O'Grady show look like Crackajack.

[MsBehaviour]

I live near Richard and Judy. Since they moved in I have never even seen Judy - but Richard is always out and about beaming at the world. He always seems to do the shopping and I've even seen him bring it home on his bike! I've often seen him in Waitrose or M & S in Temple Fortune where he has told check-out girls (more than once and with a giggle) that the booze he is buying is 'for Judy'.

He exhudes bonhomie - but what kind of dolt is he? I must admit that my views are tinged with jealousy - my home is worth a miniscule fraction of theirs. It irks me that they should have acquired it through the shallow and facile work that they do.

Today, in that weight-loss segment, the lady told Dick she had lost 16 pounds and he said "Rock and Roll" just like Alan Partridge would say. He is so cringy and unintentionally funny

[lofichic]

I'm in tears. This is the best thread ever.

I'm a writer and publish academic articles. I've just had a piece out about Tatu and opened it with a quote from Madeley about them being paedophilic entertainment, in homage to the great, great man... Dear me, what a dolt.

That really is one step away from 'Jurassic Park!' from the first series of I'm Alan Partridge. Also, R & J have now become just a copy of their overexaggerated Bo' Selecta versions where Richard's always telling Judy to shutup and Judy just sits there shaking. What was once a sketch is now reality!

[Blonde_Jo]

the wine tasting segmant always makes me laugh.
Richard in his white linen suit - cracks me up everytime.

I know I am quoting my own post but I have just had a thought about Richard's ginge eyebrows.

I remember a girl I used to work with who was a fake tan maniac; she was fair-haired and had a dirty orange build-up in her hairline.

With Richard's hair presumably being tinted to cover greys such build-up wouldn't show, but his greying eyebrows are picking up the colour.

Apart from giving up the face tango, to recitify this he would have to bleach the colour out, pluck out all the resulting frazzled wiry hairs, then pencil the eyebrows back in. Oh how I would love to see him with a nice pair of cabaret eyebrows.

[pocoloco]

Glad a couple of people mentioned the McCartney guitar thing. It was so cringey and hilarious.

Even when the camera wasn't on Richard you could still hear him playing the guitar in the background - you could tell he was in the middle of his rock star fantasy.

Loved reading the posts - I edited Wiki to include a link to this thread!

'His interviewing style is also often a subject of some mild amusement and ridicule, having once told the singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor that "you've got an unusual face, it's almost Egyptian", and has been compared to the satirical tv character Alan Partridge - view thread on Digital Spy'.

I don't know how to add related links at the bottom of the article, if anyone knows?

a classic madeley moment from his interview with the cast of 'Skins' this week

R: How old are you now? 18?
Nicholas Hoult: No I'm 17
R: Really, I thought you were 18
N: Nope
R: But you're nearly 18 though, aren't you?
N: Actually I've just turned 17
R: Oh, oh right...well I suppose I'll have to take your word for it

'take your word for it!' I nearly died laughing

What a spanner! How I wish I had seen that!

[McQueenMachine]

But ask yourselves this.

How many times better are R&J than Paul O'Grady with his between-the-wars, end-of-the pier 'humour'?

[Mariaella]

Richard is aware that he's acting like this and, as the years go on, he doesn't try to control or stop it - he enjoys his prattish reputation. It's his trademark. It's definitely worse this week
than ever. How many gaffes in three or four days?

I do enjoy the content of the show, however!

I asked myself that and the answer came back “Not at all”.

I’d rather watch Paul than the 100% pure embodiment of Embarrassing-Middle-Aged-Uncle sprawled on a couch next to his timid turkey-giblets wife, trying to extract humour and interest from their extraordinarily dull lives – all for the sake of Richard’s unrelenting efforts to make people think he’s young and trendy.

I don’t watch 5’O Clock TV much, but I wouldn’t be caught dead watching these twits.

Has Richard given you all an update on how Judy's getting on with her thrush yet this series?

Dick by name...Dick by nature. I cant stand him
