Richard and Judy are one of the nation's best-known couples. On television together for 18 years, they fronted the popular daytime programme "This Morning" for 13 of those years and their departure from it gave rise to huge newspaper coverage when they left it in 2001. Now back with their Channel 4 show, they write the full story of their lives - their childhoods, unsuccessful first marriages and of course their own professional and personal lives together. In these juxtaposed accounts, we hear about Judy's many health problems and how Richard coped with the lowest points. We hear how both of them survived his court ordeal on a shoplifting charge, how Judy felt on baring more than her soul at a TV awards ceremony, why they left "This Morning" and how they handle home and work and parenthood - as well as the ever-curious press.
