So Richard & Judy's show has been getting callers to call a premium rate number even after contestants had been chosen. This story is in danger of overtaking the congestion charge as the most overhyped news story of the day.
Finnigan claimed: "Richard and I knew nothing about this until late on Friday afternoon - we were very shocked and also angry on your behalf. We're very sorry."

"Punch and Judy" has been a scam for years. How they manage to swindle the general public into watching them week in, week out, is nothing short of criminal....

I was browsing in a bookshop today and noticed quite a few books have this "As featured on the Richard & Judy Book Club" blurb on the back. I was almost going to buy MoonDust, a series on interviews with surviving astronauts who walked on the moon, until I saw the Richard & Judy recommendation.
