Amanda Abbington - Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast

Chicken Carcass Ghost
Rich has had to deal with the soft poo of his ill dog, but he didn’t eat any of it, even though it looked delicious and anyone who says he did is lying. And he meets some men who work in IT in his audience, which is a novelty, but wait til you hear about the marital status of one of them…. His guest is a woman he worked with just four days before recording, though she seems to have forgotten all about it, Amanda Abbington.
Can she name the cast of Man Stroke Woman? How many times has she appeared on the Bill? What is Nicholas Lyndhurst’s acting secret? Has she played Give Us A Clue with Una Stubbs? And Rich recounts how he has twice failed auditions to appear in shows with her. Rich makes a pitch to appear in Death in Paradise, which might not quite work out for him and there’s chat about UFOs, sex robots and more evidence that drinking alcohol might not be the best preparation for a long-form interview.

Been re-watching as much RHLSTP as possible over the last two weeks. Everyone needs this energy in their lives - thanks, Rich!

[@irreverentreverend7053]

Cool story but I think it needs a little padding out before you adapt it into a screenplay.

[@psammiad]

Theobromine in chocolate is a stimulant similar to caffeine, that's why the dog was running around. Unfortunately dogs struggle to process theobromine so it becomes toxic, but some dogs are more resistant than others.

[@Tw0sheds]

Haha! I'm the chap who's been married 13 years... Great night Richard!

[@RIXRADvidz]

Cheers! a tip of the tipple to the Long Haul. 19 years 27Dec

[@csinszka]

i was waiting so so so much for the mention of tim from the office :D

[@rigsby1454]

They broke up

[@csinszka]

@@rigsby1454 so? then i just hallucinated the part of this video when they mentioned him.

[@junbh2]

+csinszka They probably would have mentioned him a bit more if they weren't divorced though.

[@johngreenwood1972]

Excellent lady.

[@GavinHitchens]

I love her she's so weird

[@philipcurnow7990]

Gavin Hitchens obviously drunk .. or worse ... no problem with that but please be funny or at the least curious.

[@relatablerunning]

I love Richard's Christmas jumper.

[@peterdavies4306]

Merry Christmas Rich, to you, Catie and Phoebe, and to all my fellow RHLSTP cool kids.

[@danshaggy292]

What have you got against Rich's son?

[@RIXRADvidz]

''don't try to make it all normal'', the exact reason I rise every morning, to try to make it as non-normal as possible. some one has to.

[@JackJames2612]

Very Christmassy episode - feels like being trapped with that Aunt that drinks too much

[@VonBlade]

And Amanda.

[@weavehole]

I have now learned how to do the cubes invented by Ian Rubik. Thanks RHLSTP!

[@sfoster.23]

As soon as I clicked on this I was hoping he’d mention After You’ve Gone... then her reaction to Richard mentioning Nicholas Lyndhurst made my heart sink

[@JasonConlan75]

I love her especially on Twitter

[@tvaddictedbooklover]

I never thought I'd see the day someone tells Richard Herring "Don't try and make it all normal"

[@davephilpotphilpot9867]

Hey Rich just wanted to say that I realy enjoy your podcasts and ure style of interviewing is great! Keep up the good work and merry Xmas to u and ure family

[@frunkfrankly]

FFS dave, get you're spelling togehter.

[@davephilpotphilpot9867]

@@frunkfrankly Hi there frank how do you spell cock womble? i need to know so i can reply to someone called Frank

[@frunkfrankly]

@@davephilpotphilpot9867 Hi dave, Id spell it the same pretty much but as one word: "cockwomble". But maybe that's a regional thing.

[@spiderboris79]

EPIC CHAT! About an hour in you can see the booze is good for Amanda (and Rich too...) and this conversation could have gone on for a few more hours!

[@bumcreland]

1:11:45 ...So did Rich write the Alan Partridge 'groin strain' skit for On The Hour?

[@jamesknox64]

Any torn ligaments? I've been told it's like a guitar string snapping. Nearly crashed my car first time i heard that on the radio.

[@VonBlade]

23:49 Whoa, that's a weird insert.

[@tch269one]

Surely, sex robots would have a docking station that would recharge the battery and do the cleaning.

[@thebolsta]

Did she say Frankie Boyle plays princess Anne?

[@paulgunkel5888]

Thought you would like this Richard 😂

[@joiedeceivre]

Stop saying abbington to me I want a fucking chocolate biscuit!!

[@scottwilkinson8378]

If the Worzel Gummage reboot is looking for a new Aunt Sally . . .

[@readventurekids]

Ahhh amazing!

[@danshaggy292]

Loved ‘Man Stroke Woman’. Even made a pointless list of my favourite sketches: rateyourmusic.com/list/danshaggy292/my-top-100-man-stroke-woman-sketches/

[@liamhughes1532]

Always good to see Rich keeping it real with the stripy top.

[@pigstix]

Well it had to be done. Just tried a marmite and peanut butter sandwich.

[@DogOfKrondor]

I think the cat set the dog up.......

[@ehaka007]

As suggested by Amanda I have just had marmite (vegemite) and peanut paste on toast ... fucking amazing

[@post1305]

What is the umbrella story about?

[@relatablerunning]

Donald Trump and his umbrella? Google it

[@woganjones2012]

Hmm... odd one this. Had Amanda seen RHLSTP before?

[@ericab1302]

I get what you mean, e.g. when she was asking why he brought up Dinopaws

[@twogengaming741]

How do we know if it is actually Richard that dies this channel..... has he got minions?????

[@Superfantastictop10]

Wait a rootin tootin cotton pickin second there Mr Herring. I remember you saying words to the effect: "at 17 it woud be another 4 or 5 years till you lost your virginity". Something's not adding up.

[@Herring1967]

Nope - I lost virginity at 19 3/4

[@Superfantastictop10]

@@Herring1967 Okay, I stand corrected. BTW, this is the best "chat show" around. No other has such interesting guests week in week out. Perhaps a bit of a stretch, but I'd like to see Bill Burr as a guest. Cheers.

[@simonsmith9363]

Huge lack of understanding about Africa and how animals are managed, but that is all too common. Such ignorance of the subject appalls me.

[@mbeat28]

This one is the only episode I have ever had trouble with. I’m really not keen on her. She seems prickly as fuck.

[@dodgeball667]

She's making me sleepy.
