Next weeks Tea Time Ratings War

This what I think will happen next MONDAY

1. Neighbours
2. Richard And Judy
3. Weakest Link
4. People Versus
5.Blue Peter/ Newround
6.Channel 5 News

What do you all thinl will Happen

BTW R & J are on the front of TV TIMES

I think that the Weakest Link and Neighbours are very strong in this slot. Neighbours has alot of regular viewers, and so does the weakest Link. I can't see big changes.

Richard and Judy on at tea time?! Please...don't make me choke on my tea.

I get the feeling it will be like when they presented a Prime Time Show, not many viewers.

They'll be regretting the day the 'King and Queen of Daytime' left ITV

Let's not forget Crossroads too!

About bloody time Richard and Judy appeared, by the way is that the name of the show 'Richard and Judy' how original.

In the first show Richard get's a haircut and Booby Finigan is off sick, I betcha.

Surely the new show can't be called just Richard and Judy ?!?!?!?!?!? Isn't that what the mass populus referred to This Morning as anyway?

Mind you, at least it's short - unlike the title of their short-lived ITV prime time flop of several years ago: Tonight with Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan Very catchy...

Ages ago, when R&J had only just left This Morning , I read in TV Times that the provisional title of the new ch4 show was something like That Was The Morning That Was .

Yes, giving the show a title that gives a nod to R&J's daytime days just because the new show is on in the evening is not very original...... but it's a lot more original than just using the two presenters' first names. How crap!

I hope the Weakest Link proves to be strong, can't abide Richard and Judy! Richard so judgmental and pompous, and Judy his ninny-grinning yes-woman! RETCH!

Oh please can we? Lol! I say put 'Acorn Antiques' on in its place. Older members will know what I mean.

Yeah, when I looked in the TV Guide and saw the title 'Richard & Judy' I couldn't believe how original the name was. Perhaps they could have come up with the name R&J or something like that.
