Step back in time with a TV gem

There are certain shows which never received the acclaim or the recommission they deserved. Included among them are BBC2's This Morning With Richard Not Judy, starring Richard Herring and Stewart Lee. Monkey had forgotten quite how long ago this was, with an opening gag about how they were going to "assassinate BBC director-general John Birt and schedule The Simpsons, Seinfeld and Larry Sanders at appropriate times of the day, even when the snooker is on". John Birt? The first episode, in its entirety here, and mentioned in Herring's always entertaining blog, will make you laugh, but it is also likely to make some of you feel old. Very old.
