Richard Madeley, one half of Richard and Judy, foul mouthed Ricky Gervais during Channel 4s filming of the British Book Awards to be shown tonight. It might be remembered that the Richard and Judy Show is at the centre of a phone votes scam in which the callers had no chance of winning.
Ricky Gervais did not appear live at the Awards ceremony, but appeared instead via a TV link. He quipped, "This is voted for by the public, isn't it? Well, tell them to stop voting now cos otherwise it will be another phone con".
Richard Madeley who was hosting the Awards ceremony with his wife Judy, told Gervais to "Fuck off" and branded him an "ungrateful fucking bastard".
I don't suppose that this episode will survive the cutting room floor and be shown on Channel 4. Still, I would suspect that there is something in Madeley's contract against him behaving in such a manner.
My interest in this story is twofold. The Friday Project who is to publish my autobiography is up for an award in the show, and they have sent me a draft contract which I will look over in greater detail over the weekend.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
People shouldn't be rude and make fun of the aflicted now that Ricky Gervais has revealed his suffering .
