No its not. It's just ITV filling a time slot with a programme like TV channels generally do

I have just heard that Dale Winton is back next week with a brand new Supermarket Sweep at 5:30pm on ITV1. Is this ITV1's attempt to steal viewers away from R & J?

Richard abd Judy could always be the guest presenters of the POG Show (when he is ill/off) if the R&J Show is scrapped

When Paul first moved to channel 4, wasn't the idea that he and R&J would do half the year each (3 months at a time)?
With Paul's runs seemingly getting gradually longer, it seems that now Paul's show is consiered by channel 4 to be the "flagship" 5pm show (which R&J previously was), and R&J merely the "filler" for when Paul's show is away!
Given the recent experimental "guest host" situations whenever Paul's been ill/away etc, I can't help but wonder if ultimately R&J's show will be squeezed out altogether?
Imagine... something that is effectively Paul's show (albeit perhaps with a non-host-specific title instead) could be on literally all year round, with Paul presenting for some periods of the year, and one or more alternative host(s) for other periods of the year.
Don't get me wrong, I really like R&J's show, but the contrast between the two formats is huge. Paul's show has a studio audience, and therefore the "exciting" atmosphere that that creates, through cheering etc. R&J is so sedate by comparison. Also, Paul's show is so not-taxing (it's all very showbiz and fluffy), whereas R&J can discuss serious and sometimes fairly high-brow subject matter (but, not to the exclusion of lighter content, of course).
As, "showbiz/fluffy" shows (e.g. Paul's show) tend to get the higher rating than "more intelligent" shows (e.g. R&J), it's easy to see how tempting it would be for a broadcaster to err away from the latter.
Such a "victory for dumbing down" would indeed be a shame IMHO, so long may R&J (or, at least, an equivalent show) reign - but I wouldn't be at all surprised if it is heading for being squeezed out altogether.

I saw Paul doing his "big shop" again yesterday. He's looking well. A trolley full of Actimel and a load of greenery. Odd.
Anyway, Richard and Judy is always at its best when Judy fights back at Richard in disagreement about something (which is hardly ever mind). Richard trying to slightly flirt with Emma Bunton on last night's show was near embarrassing to be honest.
"Did you ever fancy anyone on Strictly Come Dancing? Come on...you must have thought it! All those fit men!"

What did Emma reply? "No, because I fancy you Richard, simper". Not

When Paul O'Grady returns in April he will continue through until June and then R & J will take over until late September. So any of you who think Richard and Judy are getting less time than Paul, you will have three full months to see them on Channel4.
I have to say I find them boring compared to Paul's show. Paul has fun with the public, while R & J just talk down to the public. I feel Paul shows his true colours on tv while the R & J hide theirs. According to ex-work colleagues, R & J are very hard with their staff. Thats why so many left. This does not endear them to me one bit!
