Richard tries to go it alone with his novel solution to the Covid crisis and Ally gives him some advice about not bringing his personal problems into the show. But then isn't the show just a product of his problems? The pair discuss Cliff Richard calendars, racist Dorset roads, Maxwell's cushy prison and how Princess Di's funeral might have gone. Plus it's the birthday of the person who made Richard's entire podcast career and there's the return of a much-loved character who hasn't been on for a while for some reason. Plus a statement from the lonely Duke of York. You can still support our kickstarter grift, even though it's hit its target http://rhlstp.co.uk/kickstarter

It's Christmas so this week is much more impromptu than the usual tightly scripted episodes. There's songs, laughter, rapprochement and an old man lamenting his failing sperm production. Everything you want from Christmas. Plus a proper joke, some Coldplay anecdotes and a discussion about whether aliens are religious. And a beautiful duet to end on and Rich ending up with a sore throat even though he did practically nothing in the show. Support our kickstarter at rhlstp.co.uk/kickstarter

The gang are all back, with their hilarious take on all the main news stories, including THAT Christmas party, Omicron, deadly otters, swearing Clangers and what politicians like to do with globes. Plus will Prince Andrew ever be able to resume royal duties? This is the only topical puppet show that dares give you the answer. Also is there a hut on the moon and what uses can you think of for a robot hand that can exert different pressures?

A sleep deprived Richard Herring becomes surprisingly loquacious and doesn't let the puppets get much of a word in edgewise, but if he's going to get back on the TV then he has to go it alone. Topics for discussion are lots of BJs of all sorts. Did BJ have a baby to distract from his party? Did a man really give himself a BJ in his car? Has BJ ever taken drugs? Plus should we feel sorry for Allegra and is it possible to not think Michael Sheen is the best person in the world. Plus French Donkey and French Carrot meet, with disastrous consequences.

Richard and some of his puppets discuss Omicron, Arwen, Meghan, Rees-Mogg, Jizzlane, sex mess and George Michael. Will Ally and Sally get a Christmas number one. And how much would you pay for a RHLSPT Rubik's cube? You can bid for that and more here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/herring1967/

I don't quite know how, but we've got to episode 50 of this show, even though each episode is just exactly the same jokes as last time. Richard has had good news - though his nemesis is upset by it - and he is also continuing with his secret work for charity, that he doesn't like to talk about. The show is recorded under the dulling effect of a nasty cold, but only Richard is affected, so Ally has some funny stuff to say. The pair talk about Sex dolls, Peppa Pig, whether a half man, half dog is scarier than a dog and whether men are turning to crime because of a female Doctor Who. Fifty shows. Fifty shows.

In possibly the most fluid and strange episode yet Rich accuses an innocent nurse of murder, blames Santa for Covid, chastises Phillip Schofield for not taking penises seriously (like Rich does) and wonders if everyone else in the world is robots and him and Ally are the only real human beings. Is this a sophisticated parody of an ex-TV star, desperate for a return to the limelight having a mental breakdown or is it just an ex-TV star, desperate for a return to the limelight having a mental breakdown? Whichever one it is, please don't tell anyone about this show. Thanks.

TOF episode 48 Sex Pest Sex Mess - Twitch of Fun is back after a brief hiatus of having proper work to do. And Ally and Rich get to discuss how it's important to have a name that you can't make rude words out of, if you're an artist, Richard Madden's threeways, Hitler based self-cancellation, selling heir looms and banging against a brick wall. Plus a new old character and some original songs. What's not to love?

A surprise guest leads to an impromptu promo for Twitch Of Fun and I think you will all be able to tell who the funny one is in the family. It's a very weary Twitch Of Fun tonight, that nearly didn't happen, but Richard couldn't bear to think of all those excited grown adults celebrating their birthdays not getting their donkey kicks. We're asked to imagine a lot in this episode which is insensitive given everyone involved suffers from aphantasia, but there's some questions asked by Prince Andrew that we should all be asking and a question asked that isn'e even a question. Plus deadly sprinkles, not panicking, overthrow of the political system and what the Queen wants to eat with every meal. Sit on it, you malodorous ragamuffins.

Richard has discovered where he stands in the Twitch firmament of stars and it's not great news. Perhaps he is too tired to perform today, but Ally comes to the rescue with a song, a merry quip and a disgusting thing he'd like to do to your mum. What does Right Bollock have in common with Boris Johnson? Who endorses the malaria vaccine? Is a dog the antidote for a cat? Should you ever apologise for a joke? Which teacher would Richard like to have sex with? This and much (but not that much) more on tonight's amazing show.
