HAVE you noticed the title sequence for Richard and Judy? Their names are in capitals sweeping over the nation, casting an almighty shadow like something from War of the Worlds.

Watching their show is a bit like an alien invasion. Certainly it would explain a lot.

After all, Richard is already possessed, a shell where a human once lived and Judy is confused, clinging on to the remnants of reality.

Take her interview with Big Brother's Maggot. "George Gollow, I mean Gallaway," she slipped. Then it went downhill from there.

"You're 24?" she asked Maggot. "29," he replied.

"There's nine core members in Goldie Lookin' Chain?"

"EIght", he said with a note of despair in his voice.

And Tony Blair was up later. What was she going to ask him? You're Prime Minister? Of the UK? You're name is Tony?

A bobsleigh champion was next on the sofa. "You're 24?" Judy asked tentatively. "And you're race is February 16? And you're expecting to be eighth?" It was as though she was building up the confidence to ask a real question, building a foundation. "You're 24 actually aren't you?" she said, regressing. Just when she was getting somewhere!

Kirsty Allsop was on from Relocation, Relocation. Judy asked her about Angelina Jolie. "Is she definitely having twins? I read she was and now it's fact."

Kirsty kindly told her not to believe everything she read in the papers. "Let's talk about houses," she declared firmly trying to get Judy back on track.

Get with the record Judy! Deary me, the aliens have indeed landed.
