Richard isn't in the mood for a sideways look at the news, is he damaging his legacy? Or do you need to first have a legacy to damage it? The puppets are in an unpleasantly frisky mood as they discuss Boris Johnson, Jimmy Savile, testicular cysts, what it takes to impress Holly Willoughby, how it's possible that so many viewers of this show are married and how people have sex when they are different size. More predictions from Sibyl who says we'll be back in a fortnight.

Episode 57 - Ally Sloper PM

Richard Herring teams up with an 128 year-old ventriloquist doll to review the day's newspapers.

Comedy

Twitch of Fun springs back to life for its 99th episode and it's a heartfelt tribute to the fallen of D Day, amongst other things. There's no pressure to be funny luckily and this is just a conversation between two old mates that encompasses Rupert Murdoch's ventriloquist dummy face, the escalation in the chocolate button war, the two words the Queen said to Fergiana, the destruction of the homes of two comedians and the deaths of a lookalike and a pop star. When will episode 100 hit? Who knows? Richard's tour might mean it's a little way away - Get your tickets here: http://richardherring.com/ballback/tour

Episode 99 - Agadoo

An unexpected Wednesday Twitch of Fun from an overly tired Richard Herring, but those are usually the worst and thus the best ones. Ally and Herring discuss walking in Noel Edmonds' shoes, whether the Queen has a furry muff, why blood is like a butterfly, whether there's room for a Baby Reindeer character on the show, Terry's work with various David Copperfields, casting for the new Supergran and whether Jesus partly enjoyed himself of the cross.

Episode 98 - There is a Green Hill Far Away

Richard has had a gig cancelled due to flooding but Bedford's loss is your probably loss as well as you spend nearly an hour of your life in the company of him and a piece of Victorian papier mache. Ally and Herring discuss inserting batteries where the sun don't shine, the end of sex (not a problem for my viewers), a very old tortoise and Noel Edmonds' age. And the Victorian Ghost Child and Fluffy Rabbit turn up to wipe the floor with everyone. Plus exciting news of the guest for last RHLSTP of the tour that you could have got before nearly everyone else if you'd watched it live. Three to 100!

Episode 97 - Yo Momma

You thought we'd gone away, but we're getting to 100 if it kills us and then 1000 and won't stop until everyone on the planet earth is watching. Plus God. In this extended tribute to our King, like all other news outlets we speculate on the tiny amount we know about the issue for hours on end. What will be the best cancer for the King to have? Is it wrong to wish that cancer on him? And can we go through another funeral and coronation so soon? Plus some proper HIGNFY style jokes about the Tories, disbelief about old Keir Starmers, weather based innuendo, a lot about the frequency and strength of Richard's erections and birthday Donkey comes close to his dearest wish. Plus a haunting song from Ally of unusual beauty. Back at some point in the future.

Episode 96 - The Big C

Twitch of Fun is back for 2024 and Rich doesn't seem very happy about it. Has this really been going for four flicking years? God. The team chat about Rwanda, double fisting, dental improvement, various Royal lies and liars, a Chinese wang and Ronnie O'Sullivan stealing Ally's already stolen catchphrase. Plus a creepy visit from a largely silent Victorian Ghost Child in a mask and find out why Richard has no respect for anyone who likes him or his show.
