Synopsis

This Morning With Richard Not Judy or TMWRNJ is a BBC comedy television programme, written by and starring Lee and Herring. Two series were broadcast in 1998 and 1999 on BBC2. The name was a satirical reference to ITV's This Morning which was at the time popularly referred to as This Morning with Richard and Judy. The show was a reworking of old material from their previous work together along with new characters. The show was hosted in a daytime chat show format in front of a live studio audience, although it featured a small proportion of pre-recorded location inserts. It was structured by the often strange obsessions of Richard Herring; examples include his rating of the milk of all creatures and attempting to popularise the acronym of the show. The show featured repetition, with regular and vigilant viewers being rewarded by jokes that would make no sense to casual viewers. The show seemed to oscillate between the intellectual and puerile. However, irony was often used, even though the citing of irony as an excuse was mocked by the show's stars in one of many self-referential jokes.

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Cleveronix A different way of telling a story
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Jeanette Muff The best work so far of comedy duo Lee & Herring, these two live series, both originally broadcast Sunday lunchtimes, are just brilliant! Continuing with their running gags & catchphrases you see the usual familiar faces, such as the actor Kevin Eldon, appearing as a number of characters. And because it is live often things don't go quite to plan! Sketches & features include Histor's Eye, The Organ Gang, When Insects Attack, The Unusual Priest, Sunday Heroes, The Curious Orange, When Things Get Knocked Over Spill Or Fall Out Of Cupboards, Lazy Comedy Slags, There'll Always Be Milk, Nostradamus, Trevor & Nathalie, King (or Queen) Of The Show and, of course, Simon Quinlank to name just a few.Why oh why didn't the BBC give them another series?
cookie-36 This show is by far one of the most satirical and funniest shows I have had the pleasure in watching. It amazes me how they can be so crude at 12:15 on a Sunday.
