Though we all knew the day would come, it still comes as a shock to learn that Richard and Judy – TV’s very own Mum ‘n’ Dad – will most likely go their separate ways after their apparently unwatchable series on channel ‘Watch’ finishes.
This is not the end of the affair romantically, you understand. It’s strictly a professional parting. Richard wants to go and present more series about hurricanes, twisters and shoplifting, whilst Judy has her own projects to concentrate on (drinking, mainly).
Speaking on Radio 4′s Desert Island Discs, Madeley said: “We both feel we have done pretty much all we can do as a partnership, but I think probably we both feel the need to diversify.
“It has been over 20 years doing the same kind of thing and there are tantalising possibilities in terms of solo projects or one-off projects together.”
Their latest venture, Richard & Judy’s New Position, is reportedly facing the axe after viewing figures fell to just 8,000.
Don’t get me wrong – I like Richard and Judy and was sad to see that their rash judgement in moving to an unknown cable channel backfired.
But 8,000?
What have they done to make it sink that low? Are they hosting urine-drinking competitions? Is their new content just footage of the inside of dustbins? Do they trample pensioners over the opening credits?
Has anyone actually seen it?

“Are they hosting urine-drinking competitions?”
i bet i can find at least 10.000 UK residents that are willing to tune in that show. a rise in viewing figures of 25 %.
March 10, 2009 at 9:01 am
Fair point, Indy.
Sorry for the short post today, I’m still numb having watched a film called ‘Martyrs’ last night. Good God, it was grim. Definitely not a date movie.
March 10, 2009 at 9:01 am
I don’t have satellite – only Freeview – and therefore wouldn’t be able to watch it even if I wanted to. I think this has something to do with it.
March 10, 2009 at 9:08 am
My poor old ma and pa still live in a non-freeview area. And they refuse to get Sky. And they can’t even get Channel 5. iPlayer is their only salvation.
March 10, 2009 at 9:32 am
It’s sat on a channel that no-one knows exists, surrounded by repeats of Wycliffe and Poirot and features a set that looks like a cast off from Twin Peaks’ Black Lodge.
They were meant to be a flagship show for a new and innovative channel, however that channel looks exactly like every other channel hawking repeats and adverts and so people couldn’t be bothered to skip through them all hoping that they might be able to remember which one had Richard and Judy.
Basically, they got greedy.
Your Ma and Pa have it best, SH – life without multiple channel TV is the way forward. Hack the airwaves and claim back analogue once the switchover is complete…!
March 10, 2009 at 9:35 am
8,000?
On the subject of mas and pas – my mother and step father have recently acquired a new digital set but, because they steadfastly refuse to read the instructions, have actually lost a channel. They’re down to three now. In a similar vein, I bought my mother a new computer monitor a few months back, and I was talking to her last week about the public information films available to watch on the National Archives site. She expressed an interest, but said she’d not be able to watch them because her computer didn’t have sound. I pointed out this wasn’t 1995, and that perhaps she might consider exploring either the instructions or the cable that was still in the box. She’s now living in an incredible wonderland of online sound, if you can imagine such a thing.
March 10, 2009 at 9:42 am
Nap.. She’s now living in an incredible wonderland of online sound, if you can imagine such a thing.
There was a first time for all of us.
March 10, 2009 at 9:45 am
It’s the fact the previous monitor (which she’d had for three years) had sound too. If only she’d thought to plug the fucking cable in, eh?
March 10, 2009 at 9:48 am
Richard & Julie on c4 was I guess a good program, in as much as that it knew it’s audience and what would interest them. (Bit similar to the Daily Mail).
Their program is not designed for me, and I must admit it was difficult finding the odd book that did not have the R&J bookclub sticker on it. No way could this logo be on my bookshelf. NO WAY.
March 10, 2009 at 9:56 am
DINLT – Why’s that?
March 10, 2009 at 10:02 am
prat-chard and rudie.
March 10, 2009 at 10:16 am
SH I have a Freeview TV but no signal here in Bath yet, and I also refuse to get Sky.
But yes, 8,000 is pitiful even for R&J. Can we put out an appeal to track the R&J 8K down? See what they’re like? ask them… things?
March 10, 2009 at 10:21 am
I admit I watched it once. Am I one of the 8,000?
Just watching that berk Julie Myerson getting a grilling from paxo. Highly entertaining.
‘Addicted to skunk’…. pffft!
March 10, 2009 at 10:30 am
I guess because I am a bit snotty Nap.
Yes this Julie Myerson thing I think is a bit exploitative. 2 points.
1). She says she wrote the book to sympathise with other parents who might be going the same thing. She should surely be primarily concerned for her son.
2). Is this publicising going to do the son any favours for his future career?
March 10, 2009 at 10:36 am
The lights are on
But noone’s home
She might as well face it he’s addicted to skunk.
I smoke skunk every day and I’m not addi….
Hang on!
March 10, 2009 at 10:38 am
Paxo? In the morning????
Is he the new Kyle?
March 10, 2009 at 10:38 am
On Catch Up – a special cable feature from the future, BM.

That was from memory so forgive me any mistakes.
March 10, 2009 at 10:46 am
Don’t know a lot about R&J, they seem relatively inoffensive. Perhaps therein lies the seeds of their demise. That’s a decent photo of her. Looks a bit Agnetha Faltzkogy. Arrrghhh NO! The nads, The nads.
As for Myerson(arrghh the nads again) I got the impression at first that her son was some kind of violent , drug crazed psycho who sold all the family silver and furniture to fuel his evil heroin and homicide habit.
Is that not the case now?
March 10, 2009 at 10:47 am
…and they have all the Richard & Judy bookclub stamped on them, not a sticky label that you can peel off, but embossed into the cover.
March 10, 2009 at 10:48 am
Have I happened by Amazon by mistake?
March 10, 2009 at 10:48 am
I’ve read one of those.
March 10, 2009 at 10:48 am
I thought they were still on channel 4?
Re: Waccy baccy. It’s easy to blame things on. If you fuck up your exams, job, can’t be arsed to get out of bed or get a job, it provides a decent excuse.
March 10, 2009 at 10:51 am
I used to watch R&J when it was on channel 4. It was awesome comedy value. Stand out interview for me was one with a man researching the ark of the covenant.
R – and of course its in another dimension isnt it
Man – yes yes its transdimensional
Natch
It was fantastic on said waccy baccy
March 10, 2009 at 11:04 am
I thought “can’t be arsed” is a decent enough excuse not to get out of bed. I’m lying in my festering pit scrathing my bollocks with the other hand as I write this.
Aahhhhh bliss!
Wacky Backy be damned.
Is he not the President of Kenya?

Only coz I know you enjoy it so much.
March 10, 2009 at 11:09 am
you’d think the daytime viewing figures’d be raised in light of the credit crunch and all those bankers sat at home doing nothing but waiting for an economic upturn.
March 10, 2009 at 11:12 am
It’s not only bankers sitting at home doing nothing, Breeks. I myself am currently sitting on my arse doing nowt. Apart from eating Monster Munch.
March 10, 2009 at 11:14 am
sh – of course. i’ve never eaten monster munch, actually.
March 10, 2009 at 11:15 am
That Nick Gleason had the right Idea. He didn’t just sit around waiting for an economic upturn.He jolly well got on his bike and made one happen for himself.
An inspiration to us all.
March 10, 2009 at 11:16 am
He was great in the Smokey and Thee Bandit films as well.
March 10, 2009 at 11:20 am
How much is a Packet of Monster Munch these days?
March 10, 2009 at 11:21 am
Isn’t the problem that the banking industry as an entity in itself got into the whole ‘rogue trading’ vibe, to a certain extent?
Bree – you haven’t lived.
Well – you may have lived, but you certainly haven’t experienced one of the best maize snacks on the market.
March 10, 2009 at 11:21 am
Only 2000 newly minted british pounds
March 10, 2009 at 11:21 am
Tom – I’m not sure. 40 – 45 pence?
March 10, 2009 at 11:22 am
Exelsior! – really?
I’ve been done up like a kipper!
March 10, 2009 at 11:23 am
Damn i knew that door to door crisp salesman was up to something.
March 10, 2009 at 11:24 am
Sorry thought id been done up for a second there. Whyve YOU been done up?
March 10, 2009 at 11:25 am
Surely not. I can get proper crisps for 40p.
The poundy used to do huge bags of monster munch for…er …well a pound.
Or maybe they were cover version ones.
March 10, 2009 at 11:25 am
Well I wasn’t looking when they put it through the till…
One of us has been done.
March 10, 2009 at 11:27 am
Some German man’s just knocked on my window and asked me if the envelope he found in the street has anything to do with me. It had shit from him upstairs’s dogs on it.
March 10, 2009 at 11:28 am
Was it the shit or the envelope he felt you were responsible for?
March 10, 2009 at 11:30 am
I’d watch out. It sounds like a propagandist prerequisite to start a war. They did a similar thing with Poland.
March 10, 2009 at 11:36 am
It was the envelope, not the shit. It was for a bloke wot died in my flat before I moved in. I think him upstairs must have thrown it out and it’s fell out of the bin and onto some shit. Weirdly, the German fella took the envelope away with him even though I told him it was for a bloke that used to live here. So he’s now wandering the area with a shit-covered envelope in his pocket.
March 10, 2009 at 11:38 am
The Testamant of Gideon Mack, one of the best books I’ve ever read, was in the Richard and Judy Book Club, thank you very much!
March 10, 2009 at 11:40 am
Probably part of the whole German scat fetish thing.
Or perhaps there is some new EU directive regarding shitty envelopes.
March 10, 2009 at 11:40 am
Never heard of that, Dave. Is there a bit where a titanium-clad Soviet super robot controlled by magnets smashes its way into the Pentagon and breaks some heads apart in 1973?
March 10, 2009 at 11:43 am
Isn’t that the lyrics to a James blunt song?
March 10, 2009 at 11:44 am
Shit. That sounds awesome!
The R&J efforts just about some priest that goes missing down a cave and then claims he’s spoken to the devil himself.
March 10, 2009 at 11:46 am
I did write my comment like a piece of performance poetry, TL. It’s because I enjoy to write comments that way sometimes.
March 10, 2009 at 11:52 am
i recall someone going on about pickled onion monster munc.h hmmm.
March 10, 2009 at 11:54 am
I don’t mind the pickled onion ones. Prefer the beef, mind. Lovely, lovely beef Monster Munch.
March 10, 2009 at 11:55 am
hmmm. maybe i should try ‘em.
then again probably won’t. can’t be as good as aussie crisps. which are called chips. cause that’s what they are.
March 10, 2009 at 11:59 am
No. Chips are lumps of potato deep fried in oil or lard. Wot you are on about are crispy.That’s why they are called crisps.
nyah!
March 10, 2009 at 12:00 pm
no tom laird. them be Hot Chips.
crispy is onomatopeia, not a foodstuff.
March 10, 2009 at 12:00 pm
Don’t try to tell a Scotchlander what chips are. I was weaned on them.
March 10, 2009 at 12:00 pm
I never understood how R&J got so popular.
Now they’re not…
March 10, 2009 at 12:01 pm
i don’t try. i do. i do tell you.
*runs
March 10, 2009 at 12:05 pm
Coming from the Antipodes Breeks you will have all sorts of wrong names for things. Like calling flip-flops “thongs”. And Fosters “beer”.
March 10, 2009 at 12:06 pm
wrong is perception, and i perceive you are wrong. you don’t get enough sun nor vegetables and therefore your decision making cannot be trusted.
March 10, 2009 at 12:12 pm
I think since this Sceptered Isle invented the language I think they should know what the definition of the words are. The Engurlish have decided that chips are not crisps and vice versa. Being a colonial you have to live with it. It’s the rules. Especially as ‘er Maj’ still officially owns Australia.
March 10, 2009 at 12:13 pm
actually the japan and china most own australia.
March 10, 2009 at 12:13 pm
actually the japan and china mostly own australia.
March 10, 2009 at 12:14 pm
Tom Laird: “Probably part of the whole German scat fetish thing.”
scatman johann?
March 10, 2009 at 12:15 pm
Well hence the reason they are even wronger.
I thought you were mostly Croatian these days.
March 10, 2009 at 12:16 pm
Yes indeed. He did the voice of Hong Kong Phooey in the German version.
March 10, 2009 at 12:17 pm
only some parts of melbourne.
anyway, my point stands. you’re wrong about chips/crisps.
March 10, 2009 at 12:17 pm
actually the japan and china mostly own australia.
March 10, 2009 at 12:18 pm
actually the japan and china most own australia.
March 10, 2009 at 12:19 pm
Yeah alright indy, don’t labour a point.
March 10, 2009 at 12:19 pm
“Chips” is what Americans call crisps.
Calling sweets “lollies” is Austalias own invention I believe
March 10, 2009 at 12:20 pm
where i come from “uk crisps” = chips and “uk chips” = pommes frites.
how do you like them potatoes?
March 10, 2009 at 12:20 pm
Australia brought us Skippy, Round the Twist and the Minogue sisters. And that is all they have brought us, apart from Extra Dry beer (which is good).
I hope that settles the debate.
March 10, 2009 at 12:21 pm
In The Shining how come Scatman Carruthers can see whats happening 300 miles away, then can’t see Jack Nicholson hiding round the corner with a big axe.
Surely one of the most pointless characters/sequences in a film ever?
March 10, 2009 at 12:23 pm

March 10, 2009 at 12:31 pm
i think you’ll find that amongst the sheilas and murderous roo’s that much about australia and its produce, human and otherwise, is ‘alright’.
March 10, 2009 at 12:32 pm
I just telephoned The Queen. She says yer talkin out yer arse breeks. Her exact words. Chips are what you buy from the Chippy. Wrapped in paper and with vinegar on.
Quod errat demonstrandum Jimmy as they say in Glasgow.
March 10, 2009 at 12:35 pm
I’ve visited “Ramsey Street”.
Wasn’t allowed to walk down it, just peeped in.
March 10, 2009 at 12:36 pm
Don’t forget that irritating bloke wot was killed by a big flounder. He was an Oz as well.
March 10, 2009 at 12:42 pm
Breeks – Your lethal wildlife isn’t ‘alright’. Don’t you have more things down there that can kill you than anywhere else on the planet?
March 10, 2009 at 12:45 pm
Back to R&J hats off to Richard for still giving her one. Stout fellow.
How much would you take to give Judy a right old seeing to?
Perhaps you are a bit finicky and wouldn’t consider getting in her bed for lss than £1000.
Maybe you are Engurlish and in your thirties and would just be glad of a shag.
Could it be you are Australian and Judy Finnegan is what an otherwise sane person would call a bowl of mashed potatoes.
Personally I’d do it for the publicity and a packet of Monster Munch.
Come on Lads. What price Judy?
March 10, 2009 at 1:00 pm
naps – they only attack small, xenophobic brits like yourself.
March 10, 2009 at 1:02 pm
the queen doesn’t eat chips. she’s german.
March 10, 2009 at 1:06 pm
Do you mean chips or crisps. She was German but seeing the error of their ways the Royal Family Changed their name from Battenfuhrerfartenburgenpimmelkopfenscheissenblucher to Windsor in the sixties as a tribute to their much loved Carry On films.
March 10, 2009 at 1:08 pm
Tom Laird: “What price Judy?”
standard fee.
March 10, 2009 at 1:09 pm
Breeks – I’m not actually small. Does that mean I’ll be alright if I go to Australia?
March 10, 2009 at 1:10 pm
naps – small of mind, small of soul, small of cock, small of eye. any kind of small, really.
March 10, 2009 at 1:10 pm
Round the Twist! Fuck, there’s a blast from the past. I loved that show like a surrogate mother.
Add the Avalanches onto the list of good ozzies who call crisps something wrong. They’re called crisps because they’re fried until they crisp, see?
March 10, 2009 at 1:11 pm
Tom – for fuck’s sake…
‘How much would you take to give Judy a right old seeing to?’
…is not really the angle we’re coming from.
Could you rethink your position, take those deep breaths I mentioned yesterday, then fuck off?
March 10, 2009 at 1:13 pm
Indy- Stout Fellow
Ugeine- Stout Fellow
Breeks- Still wrong
March 10, 2009 at 1:14 pm
Breeks – Small of cock, eh? How unbelievably original. So … shall we now turn to the subject of your cavernous vagina?
March 10, 2009 at 1:15 pm
naps, absolutely. roszses will, should she ever return to the WWM shores, gladly share with you the concept of a widey.
i pride myself on my originality. piss off.
March 10, 2009 at 1:16 pm
The angle is completely your choice.
I’m not fussed.
As the owner/moderator you are within your right to censor/bar me.
It’s still a free country. Isn’t it?
Don’t get the breath thing.
March 10, 2009 at 1:17 pm
Nappers – you took it as read she was talking about winkys. I’m not sure she was.
Tom – so far your humour today has run thus:
People from Africa have funny names compared to us folk.
Judy Finnegan is not a young woman.
These have not been satisfying in any way.
March 10, 2009 at 1:18 pm
Breeks – I’m afraid to tell you it’s a rather misplaced pride. Piss off y’self.
March 10, 2009 at 1:18 pm
i will not piss off.
you piss off.
March 10, 2009 at 1:19 pm
PS. My position on Judy hasn’t changed.
Ooh er
March 10, 2009 at 1:20 pm
Tom – I’m just saying that if you want to be contentious and say things that are borderline offensive then it helps to spend five minutes thinking about them before typing. Are you Tombstone, reborn?
March 10, 2009 at 1:20 pm
I see Nappers and Breeks are having a piss-off. The saucy beggars.
March 10, 2009 at 1:21 pm
we need mel here to contribute boiled piss, to make it a threesome.
March 10, 2009 at 1:21 pm
She’s my enemy today, I see.
And she can piss right off.
March 10, 2009 at 1:22 pm
Don’t Australians also think that been really good at cricket is important?
March 10, 2009 at 1:22 pm
I think you will find they find our names equally funny.
I had no idea you were quite so puritanical. I will however respect your wishes. A good day to you. And all the best with your highly amusing and well written blog.

March 10, 2009 at 1:23 pm
And rugby.
March 10, 2009 at 1:23 pm
to the corner, ugeine, for crimes against spelling.
naps – let’s cut the foreplay. upstairs?
March 10, 2009 at 1:24 pm
ugeine – it’s ‘BEING’. Not ‘been’. ‘BEING’!
Australians are alright – I live with one and she’s managed to Anglicise her accent to the point I don’t get a splitting headache every time she speaks.
March 10, 2009 at 1:26 pm
And come off it Swines. To be honest I feel you are bending over backwards to be offended.
But no matter.
March 10, 2009 at 1:26 pm
Breeks & SH: You’re talking to somebody who can’t even spell ‘Eugene’ correctly. Think it’s a lost cause, don’t yourself?
And I have nothing against Australians (In fact I still need to thank you all for Round the Twist), I just don’t see eye to eye with cricket and rugby. Come on, they’re both fairly odd as sports go.
March 10, 2009 at 1:26 pm
Breeks – Fuck it, I’m in …
March 10, 2009 at 1:27 pm
‘Think it’s a lost cause, don’t yourself?’
Yes, don’t yourself. I speak Pigin English.
March 10, 2009 at 1:29 pm
i had an australian flat mate for a while and he was a complete t**t. it was all about smoking pot, talking about surfing and playing digeridoo outside camden. he lived off his south african hippie girlfriend, who somehow managed to get them some cash from some charity work. and yes, they were vegan.
i’ve tried to stay away from this story but i felt that it was time to bring on the heavy artillery.
March 10, 2009 at 1:31 pm
indy – his girlfriend deserved being sponged off for being south african.
cricket is a beautiful sport.
naps – stop referring to me as ‘it’ and we have a deal.

Tom Laird – I haven’t asked you to leave (the ‘fuck off’ wasn’t meant to be taken literally) but just think we can avoid the blunt sexism and xenophobia. Doesn’t reflect well.

Used to have a thing about Aussie girls, but since I met Ms DINLT (a dusky Latina), have not experienced the delights of oz girls.
Cricket is a beautiful game except for 20/20.
March 10, 2009 at 1:44 pm
‘dusky latina’?!
*puts DINLT on some kind of list*
*puts everyone on a list*

I don’t like cricket, oh, no.
Really, can’t stand it, ooohohoh.

Absolutely brilliant investigative journalism.

Cricket’s boring as hell.

Twitter message:
Stan Collymore is now following you on Twitter.
Is that a warning from the government?
March 10, 2009 at 2:01 pm
it would’ve been the ‘swine’ part of your name that drew him in.
March 10, 2009 at 2:03 pm
Is that for WMM? WWM has famous fans! Must be all the conversations we have about food.
March 10, 2009 at 2:04 pm
He’s crazy for livestock, old Colly.
Look at Ugeine getting all excited about celebs (if you can call a late-night Setanta presenter a celeb and not piss your pants laughing)
March 10, 2009 at 2:06 pm
ittle bittle ugeine. every blog or messageboard has one.
March 10, 2009 at 2:07 pm
*screams*
He’s my favourite ever person to be used in a Dennis Pennis putdown.
DP: Hey Tom, Tom, did you enjoy playing Forrest last year?
Tom Cruise: Yeah
DP: Do you’ll think they’ll miss Stan Collymore’s electric pace up front? Don’t know why they sold him…
March 10, 2009 at 2:08 pm
Hang on Breeks, you comment on celebrities much more then me.
March 10, 2009 at 2:09 pm
ugeine – yeah. ones i know. yeah. or that i don’t know.
March 10, 2009 at 2:10 pm
Hanks or Cruise?
March 10, 2009 at 2:10 pm
By the way, that BBC link is also about 65% of Dave’s lastest blog.
March 10, 2009 at 2:12 pm
Sorry, Hanks, my mistake.
March 10, 2009 at 2:15 pm
Stan Collymore. Good player, but did not fulfil his full potential. Nonetheless he was very useful especially at Liverpool.
March 10, 2009 at 2:16 pm
Ugeine – Is it? Excellent stuff. Again, that saves me the bother of reading myopiniononstuff.
March 10, 2009 at 2:20 pm
It’s a brilliant read, Napoleon, I visit every day. It’s called ‘my opinion on stuff’ and he hasn’t offered a single opinion on anything yet.
March 10, 2009 at 2:21 pm
I’ll confess I’ve looked at it from time to time. It bears a remarkable resemblance to imtheotherdave and daveselectricblanket.
March 10, 2009 at 2:23 pm
dave. name of champions. champions of what, though.
ideas?
March 10, 2009 at 2:23 pm
Hmmm..I never get any comments on my blog.
March 10, 2009 at 2:24 pm
They also call trousers “pants”
I’m editing a doc about Milgrams experiment. Humans are stupid FACT

Name a character from a movie please. Nothing too unusual.

March 10, 2009 at 2:28 pm
Bingo. Cheers Nick.
March 10, 2009 at 2:29 pm
I got a comment on my blog yesterday.
Thanks Mel.
Where is Mel?

Some people are so far behind they think they’re leading the race.
March 10, 2009 at 2:43 pm
A bit disappointing in here today. I came looking for my usual dose of xenophobia, sexism, sexual innuendo and bad jokes, and what do I find. Nothing of interest. You ought to be ashamed.
Me, I’m off to contact Living TV with my latest brilliant television concept which involves Michael Jackson adopting Brave Jades kiddies post death. It’s a winner, I tell you, a winner.
Walks off humming theme tune to series, Jackos “PYT (Pretty Young Thing”.
March 10, 2009 at 2:46 pm
Aren’t my musings enough for you?
March 10, 2009 at 2:47 pm
It’s nice to be important, but it’s even more important to be nice.
March 10, 2009 at 2:58 pm
ugeine – I assumed you’d be sent off on a training course at one of these companies that produce motivational posters.
You know – “Determination – It is the size of one’s will which determines success.” That kind of keech.
March 10, 2009 at 4:15 pm
Ugeine, you poisonous little bastard, have you not noticed the ‘(and nonsense)’ part of my blog banner?
Just leave me be, okay? It keeps me mildly amused and harms nobody at all.
March 10, 2009 at 4:53 pm
omg. it’s, like, barren in here.
March 10, 2009 at 10:24 pm
I’ve caught it once or twice, when I’ve had seven thousand gatecrashers round. Shame to see it go, especially the pensioner trampling. And some of those dustbin interiors were simply stunning!
