Richard Herring: Ally and Herring's Twitch of Fun
Richard Herring teams up with an 128 year old, 'handsy', ventriloquist doll made by his great-grandad to review the day's newspapers in an attempt to put to rest the ghosts of old and failed double acts he's been in. It's a format that I am sure you've seen before, but hopefully we can give it a fresh spin. Unprepared and unrehearsed, Ally and Herring have no idea what the other one is about to say and as long as the offensive stuff is said by the dummy then no one can touch us. But which one's the dummy?

It's Friday, it's 3pm and the computer's back but the tech has screws up. But it's all sorted in 3 minutes flat for a non-canon and non-cannon episode of your favourite afternoon topical news show with a washed up TV celebrity and a 133 year-old ventriloquist dummy that also includes a hippopotamus that is obsessed with mammary glands. All right, second favourite. They discuss which dead AI celebrity they'd like to get their divorce papers from, why there's nothing impressive about a woman having sex with 1000+ men in 12 hours, the controversial choices for Match Of The Day presenters, how Kenneth Kendall would react if he saw what's on BBC News these days and a very clever joke about Dune. Plus Richard just looking at the old intro cartoons and laughing at them because he's forgotten all the stuff he used to do. It's not Episode 100, but that can't be far away.
