After two decades of guest slots and warm-up roles, the comedian and folk singer got his own show on ITV in the Sunday night slot usually occupied by either Spitting Image or Hale and Pace. Richard's material was neither satirical nor scatological; he was a fairly mainstream comedian somewhere between Michael Barrymore and Mike Harding with a strong nostalgic streak. His guests tended to be fairly seasoned performers like Brian May, Suzi Quatro and Elkie Brooks. I thought it was good entertainment before turning in on a Sunday and was sorry there wasn't more of it.
