I read in the paper today that R&J are to be appearing in an episode of the next series of "Extras" - written by and starring Ricky Gervais.

I guess it will make a change for R&J to be harping on about this rather than the time they were featured in a "Little Britain" sketch

At least they're accepting their reduced status, though eh, OV? Extras - yeah, right. Add ons to the Channel 4 programme line up - mind you, soon Deal Or No Deal will take up every slot - with maybe a look in for Des and Carol on Countdown and Big Boobs live for the rest of the time - interspersed with 'BB's Little Boob' - 'BB's No Brainers' and 'BB's Pull Up An Inflatable Trendy Chair and Chat With Lanky Fellah about Boobs' on the 144 channel that no-one watches anyway

I agree with what you say about Deal Or No Deal going for world domination.....am I the only one who doesn't like ?

LITTLE NOELY: Phew! What-an-INTENSE-show! Bill was brave - very, very, VERY brave - and he did it: he made a series of arbitrary choices appear like a well-thought-out strategy! I am SHATTERED! Bet you are too! Join us again - I SUSPECT you will - for tomorrow night's special test of skill: 'heads or tails'!

Bill showed the courage and positivity and character of a Churchill and employed the strategy of a latter-day Marshall Ney.
Rarely, do we witness such commitment to a life, yes, life changing course of action.

And all he has to do is just 'Open The Box' and ...take the money!! The one with a quarter million inside it. Bob St. John Stevas must be turning in his box!! Yes? Bong. No? Bong. Yes - but Deal? Or No Deal? Just one question - amongst all the others. That's why I know you'll all be back, right after the break.

Easy

I will be watching the return of R&J tonight. I can't believe they're going to appear in 'Extras'. I hope they do it justice and send themselves up properly like Les Dennis did.

thanks for the info Occassional Visitor, hope it's true!

Oh Little Bird, just like your namesake (Horrocks) you are!

Am sure R&J will lend themselves to a good send-up... Alistair McGowan has already sent Richard up right n proper....

they'll be brill, can't wait!!!!

I thought the interview with Ricky Gervais was a great bit of "last day of term" type fun and they always tend to have him on for the last show of the series.

It ended the show on a high I thought

They didn't mention their possible cameo roles in the new series of "Extras", so maybe it's not happening.

OR

Maybe they got the message that the constant mentioning of their "Little Britain" effort worked on everyone's nerves in the end.

It was pathetic - last day or not.

Three useless egos padding each other up. It made me want to vomit.

Show ended on a real LOW.

Even though he said exactly the same things to Phil and Fern on This Morning - he even repeated his 'I don't know how you two get away with it' line - I thought he, and Richard and Judy, were absolutely superb. More of this, please, Channel 4, as soon as possible. It is water-cooler television!

Pathetic.

...why was J finnigan laughing hysterically for ..most of this last..prog??
..i thought she would..burst Ha ha
..and all that teddy bear stuff ..with the decidedly peculiar Giles somebody??
are we all 5 years old? for God's sake?

I think the show was painfully attrocious even for an end of series show.

She's been cackling like a demented banshee for most of the series but yesterday was quite nauseating.

..a cynical person might suggest she was laughing at...at the ..punters..Ha ha

Yes indeed. Though said in jest that line of how they get away with it was very appropriate.

It surely can't be that long before Channel 4 give them the boot. They must have p'd the Channel off badly by not covering for O'Grady until he recovered. Saying they could not change their holiday plans is an absolute disgrace.

I had to leave the room to stop the cackling go right through me like a Chicken Tikka Dansak. Funny thing is that cackling followed me everywhere. Can't help thinking of Kenny Everett's punch line of "You are awful, but I love you" I could cuddle her, but she would have to STOP that cackling.
It's obvious she loves Richard dearly but I bet at times she thinks, I could cheerfully smash you in the face with a frying pan.

Hi Ron No, dear, Dick Emery
Ha ha

Of course you are quite right Henry..Dick Emery.
I got my "All done in the best posssssible taste" mixed up with "You are ........you" Put it down to advancing years.

You're thinking of Dick Emery. But please, C4, show a series of REPEATS of Richard and Judy. I cannot think of anything I'd rather watch.

What, even more than Tricky's World's Wildest Weather series?

Apparently, Richard was on last week's "Extras".

Did anyone see it ?

yes ,I did and he was quite funny I have to say ! Taking the mickey out of himself is the best thing he does LOL
