Is this their way of ditching the appalling bottom feeder producer Amanda Ross ?

D. Hurlimann, Geneva,

Don't particularly like the R&J show, but no thank you Frank W I do not want to be intellectually challenged at this time of the evening. Entertained yes.

It is really sad that Richard and Judy are leaving. The show presents topical lifestyle issues and challenges political correctness. Judy is charming, mumsy and lovely. Both are intelligent and the topics gets people thinking. It's terrible that TV programmes are dumbed down to suit the tastes of the clueless classes and those who do mickey mouse degrees. Do you think really smart people like Bill Clinton (probably the most intelligent US President in the country's history) and Cherie Blair, and JK Rowling, would have attended their show if they did not think it was a cerebral experience ? I hope Richard and Judy continue to present wholesome and interesting programmes.

Probably got out before the Fraud Squad got in. Didn't their show take a record amount of money from phone-in callers after the lines were closed?

This story illustrates that newspapers do sometimes report good news!

Vanessa Hardy, Glasgow,

I would like to see some ballroom dancing competitions in it's place. Got for it Channel 4, love you.

Richard and Judy haven't quit the show,
who in their right mind would turn down a million a year ?
Channel 4 have dropped them by not renewing their contract because nobody watchs them any more.

Well done Channel 4. Why wait until 2008.

THE PUNCH AND JUDY SHOW!!!

The guests were brilliant, Judy as ever a charming host, while Richard continually interrupted and stole Judy's lines and
probably because of his youth, always made cringeing and
near-the-mark comments, especially when the subject of sex arose.

We still need to see Judy on TV to feel content that she isn't being squashed at home by Mr. Punch!!!

Sonia Crane , Locks Heath, Southampton, UK

No way. This sucks. I'm going to miss not having Richard and Judy accompany me whilst I ate my dinner. Everything else on at this time is completely rubbish.

Dan, Leamington Spa, UK

No great loss to the TV Screen. It is a very poor and really quite cringingly boring show, as are the other 'Chat Shows' put on by the other channels masquerading as News Shows (aka the Breakfast Programmes).

With any luck Channel 4 will replace the show with something more intellectually challenging that will give the viewer something interesting to watch and exercise the grey matter.
