At the start of the show, Richard said: “We did warn you, we said we would come back. Hello and welcome to your Friday This Morning with Richard and Judy.”
He joked: “It felt like they had put us in a freezer 22 years ago and then we’ve been defrosted the night before and we just picked up from where we left off.”
Judy added: “But we wouldn’t have aged!”
Richard & Judy: Keep Reading and Carry On airs on Channel 4, Monday, May 4, at 5:30pm.
