There was a time, prior to the pandemic, Brexit and Donald Trump, when things were so much simpler.
The world didn’t have to deal with some sort of calamity every year.
Have you noticed that things went wrong when Richard and Judy mostly disappeared from our TV screens? It’s probably a coincidence… but who knows?
Maybe the slightly awkward charm the pair enjoyed as hosts of This Morning then their own evening chat show on Channel 4 was good for the world. Again, who knows?
If you subscribe to the theory that Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan are a force for good, you might want to check out The Richard And Judy Book Club Podcast.
The club the pair started on their early evening chat show is still going strong, and it has, as all things must do these days, a podcast to go along with it.
This week, the pair are celebrating the 10-year anniversary of the Book Club’s partnership with WH Smith, and are bringing back 12 of their all-time favourite Book Club titles with a Best Of The Richard And Judy Book Club collection.
Also, TV’s Judge Rinder, and authors Heather Morris and Terry Hayes join them to talk about The Tattooist Of Auschwitz and I Am Pilgrim.
Rinder talks about his appearance on Who Do You Think You Are, where he uncovered his family’s history as victims of the Holocaust.
It’s an illuminating chat, and Richard manages to not put his foot in it like he usually does. Good old Richard.
Other episodes hear from a host of guests, from Gabby Logan to Dawn O’Porter to Robert Harris.
And hopefully the podcast will also see the return of Richard’s awful Ali G impression too.
Well, who knows?
