Richard and Judy

[MrBen]

Honest question:

Is this story real?

Do your best...but be kind....

[Mick Mac]

Heard about this on the radio. I'm completely in agreement, pets get put down, humans have to suffer.

[*Bob*]

Could they not have both been humanely destroyed in 1991 - thus alleviating another ten years of suffering for ITV daytime viewers?

[El Pibe]

*ahem*

"Perhaps I'm going a bit soft in my dotage, but I've almost completely lost interest in rubbishing people with admittedly limited (but by no means non-existent) abilities - who manage to just 'stay working' in the almighty shitsack that is the entertainment industry."

[El Pibe]

only pulling your leg like.

Richard has been hugely entertaining over the years, in fact I'm 80% sure that some of Alan Partridge's best moments were at least partly inspired by him.

[Loz]

They might have been a bit clumsy in their words, but it is an issue that is worth shining light upon.

Mind you, I have no idea how you could frame an assisted death law without putting vulnerable people at risk.

[El Pibe]

""If, when the time came... Judy said to me, 'But what about you? What about the risk of prosecution?', I'd say, 'That's my problem, I'll deal with that, don't worry about it.' And for me, it would be the locked room, the bottle of whisky and the revolver. I wouldn't want to mess around.""

purest partridge!!!!

[Dopamine1979]

I've now re-read that in Alan Partridge's voice and I think you're spot on El Pibe.

'I wouldn't want to mess around'

:)

[*Bob*]

But I wasn't rubbishing them! Merely suggesting that they could have been humanely destroyed..

Anyhow, their unfortunate move to 'Watch' amounted to something similar.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Charity Dying in Dignity:

"The law needs to change ...To that end the Assisted Dying Bill will shortly be debated by the House of Lords. This change in the law would result in fewer dying adults - and their families - facing unnecessary suffering at the end of their lives.

"The Bill is supported by an overwhelming majority of the British public. This is a problem that can no longer be ignored, and it is time for Parliament to act."

Did I miss the referendum or am I merely underwhelming?

[Otta]

The whiskey and revolver line wad bloody stupid as it give opponents something to jump on.

There are genuine concerns about protecting the vulnerable, but this undoubtedly needs a rethink. why the hell should anyone be forced to stay alive and suffer whilst their savings and estate are eaten away by over priced and largely shit care providers?

The talk of amazing care and hospices in this country is true in many cases, but nowhere near enough.

[Salsaboy]

Bloody hell, she's looking rough.

[Jah Lush]

Peter Cook's idea of a show for celebrities would be perfect for Richard & Judy.

 

[Louisa]

I personally think putting the god awful show which made all these people famous in the first place should be put out of its misery. How do ITV justify re-commissioning this tosh year in year out?

When people stop watching it, they'll stop making it.

[Louisa]

Absolutely. So, who's guilty? What's wrong with homes under the hammer? Pffft
