Just seen in the movie they are making of Richard Osman’s book his wife has been cast. Wonder how she got that role?🙄

Don’t be so cynical. I’m sure she got the role completely on merit and had to audition along with everyone else, did not mention her connection to the author and went through a vigorous system of………..

Sorry I couldn’t even get to the end of that sentence

On the Richard & Judy documentary they showed a clip from This Morning from when Denise was the Agony Aunt. There was a phone in and someone rang up saying that their husband was abusive and they don’t know how to get away from him. Her husband had gone to work (I think) which was why she was able to call up. They said to her to get some help, maybe she could go out and speak to a neighbour or someone and the caller says the husband had locked her in the house. They all said call the police, this isn’t on, what if there was a fire. Richard said either you can call the police or do you want us to do it. I think the caller said she’d do it. Denise said she’d call her back straight after to see how she got on

I wouldn’t have minded hearing a follow up to this as I don’t recall what happened next with this woman

I’m sure i once heard that they managed to get her away from him after the phone call but I don’t know if I’m misremembering or if it was true.
 
I do like both Richard and Judy, am I misremembering or were they vilified for their age gap which I have just googled and is 8 years, which doesn't seem a great deal now.

I read that in the early stages of their romance Judy bought Richard a necklace with a J on. Their bosses did not like the romance and he had to pretend the J was a saxophone and he was mad about jazz for a considerable period of time 😆.

Wasn't she married to someone else when they met?

Oooh juicy gossip!! Decades old but I don't care, I am here for it.
Richard met Judy in 1982 when he joined Granada to present alongside Tony Wilson and Judy. At the time, both of them were married – Judy to David Henshaw and Richard to his first wife Lynda.

Thinking back i think I must have read Richard's autobiography years ago so the issue was conveniently skirted over.

It was an interesting book if I recall, his grandfather was basically sold by his family at a young age in to farm work, the rest of the family emigrating with the proceeds. Richard's own father beat him (with Richard reasoning was a victim of SA at boarding school). Lots of generational trauma there 😔.
