A true national treasure, surely.
Popped the TV on this morning - something that doesn't usually happen - and I was surprised to see Richard Madeley presenting the TV breakfast show. I thought Piers Morgan did it. Anyway, he's fantastic, isn't he?
First up we had a woman who is engaged to "Britain's most violent prisoner" Charles Bronson, on because they want to have a baby, and discussion turned to whether Bronson should be released. Madeley picked up a piece of paper: "I've got his charge sheet here. Last year he attacked the prison governor. Charlie, if you're watching mate, what was that about?"
Next up, on a piece about people getting drunk on flights, Richard revealed his inside knowledge of the airline industry. "A Ryanair flight to Ibiza, and that's one of the bad ones - the old run down to Ibiza, ..."
Continuing on the same flight, it was revealed that the Ibiza flight had to be re-routed to France: "I hope they got arrested. The French don't much around with that sort of thing."
Finally, Richard gave some detail of a flight he was on from Miami to London: "There was this man and woman, and they didn't know each other, but after 4 or 5 hours of copious alcohol, they got intimate. It was visual and audible and quite disgusting."
I'm staying tuned for more Madeley brilliance.
