Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast - with Richard Bacon

A Series of Apologies
It’s the 100th Leicester Square Theatre Podcast and the last in this series, so we’ve flown a special guest in all the way from America at the licence fee payer’s expense, it’s Blue Peter’s bad boy, Richard Bacon. And in typical fashion he turns up at the theatre having been out all night celebrating his imminent 40th birthday. Where does he get his energy from?… oh right.
Find out about how he once cried salty tears on to Mansfield Macdonald’s salty gherkins, how he became Top of the Pop’s most notorious ever presenter by accidentally calling some people fat, why he has been banned from the state opening of parliament, how he took a forgetful plate-spinner to Las Vegas, what he knows about the Tales of Robin Hood, what part of his anatomy (other than his mouth and nose) he can breathe out of and why this gives him another kinship with Herring on top of his Dicky first name and food-based surname. Plus what he REALLY thinks of Una Stubbs (he thinks she’s nice). And he gives himself something else to apologise for in a lifetime of apology. He’s a very entertaining and lovely idiot, but as you’ll see, it’s all down to genetics. Hard to believe his one attempt at stand up ended so badly.
If you think these 100 podcasts have been worth 1p each, why not donate a pound here www.gofasterstripe.com/badges. Feel free to give more if you like or to donate monthly. We’ll use all your money to make even more stuff like this.

"oh no, you can't say that" delivered with absolute perfection, brilliant

[@pablodistefano]

Happy 100th podcast RHLSTP. I bloody love you.

[@Crissy_the_wonder]

+pablodistefano "RHLSTP!"

[@DanielLecoqRooster]

I don't pay 1£ a month to listen to Richard Bacon talk about his ill health.

[@Longpigmss]

He was actually prattling on not just talking.... ;)

[@aprilapril2]

Worth 1.50

[@billallen2126]

17:23 is that two grams dropping out of richard's pocket?

[@forshawsfearoffun]

"he opened the boot of his car and the dog was in there" hahahaha fucking brilliant. thanks for making wednesdays ace, Richard

[@fluorosco]

@Simon Simon because his car is a Rover

[@dooovde]

1:09:52 kicks off maybe the funniest moment of this series

[@sratus]

really enjoyed this. twas a nice hungover chat between friends. often the best chats in real life i find.

[@pablodistefano]

As a broadcaster Richard Bacon's mic technique is piss poor

[@alisonwinter9022]

Has Rob Newman ever been considered as a RHLSTP guest? I would love to see him on here!

[@AzazgaPhil]

Brilliant episode... Made me laugh out loud at work (with my headphones on), got a few glares ;)

[@sonnyjim6451]

This has to be my favourite episode. RHLSTP is so good it should be on Channel 4 every Friday at 11pm.

[@mamesmck5236]

Obligatory 2020/2021 comment. Five years ago was such a simple time.

[@vitotito12]

Hey Richard your link to the donation isn't correct replace the" ," with "." near the "com/badges"

[@mikestoner2898]

This is still the all time best RHLSTP

[@readventurekids]

Yay! Winscombe lad here, sitting in the countryside of Hong Kong with my wife from Indonesia and my mate from Basildon, eating Indian food watching Pakistani club cricket on the TV with my boss from China. You have a truly international audience RH!

[@MrPHILDABASS]

Richard Bacon's 5live podcast was ace. He broke the news of Rik Mayall's death to me.

[@normandoyle1009]

Next time I make a grand in one hit (in AUS dollars, so I dunno what that is right now in post-Brexit money) I'm committing a chunk to RHLSTPRHLSTP.

[@MsFifi11c]

Norman Doyle About £3.50

[@normandoyle1009]

MsFifi11c 61p. The £ isn't too healthy right now. Splitters!

[@NeilTaylor1]

Bloody hell Richard Bacon, will you please get your shoes off the furniture? I didn't pay a pound for this podcast just to see you smear dog's mess all over the chair. And people have to eat off that table!

[@beenwilson]

Best ever RHLSTP? Well done all round. Excellent way to spend a pound a month. See you at Birmingham Glee Club Richard (this might be the most brown nosing thing I've ever written)

[@twatwatwat]

Well done on reaching your century Rich. Must be well over five entire days' worth of awesome podcastery. That's one whole working week's worth of distraction. Cheers!

[@gilgameshaeternus960]

He's a good'n. Shame they sacked him from Blue Peter. Just a bit of coke! Blue Peter has a long history of cocaine addicts. Even the dogs were fucked. Suffice to say I was devastated when he left BP

[@paulwinstone7339]

I've watched nearly all of these podcasts now, and can honestly say that was one of the best. I now really want to go on holiday with the 2 Richards just to see what could happen.

[@IndependentGeorge76]

Bacon's always seemed an affable fellow. Shame he's not on 5live, his late night call in was class

[@bonnie43uk]

Hurrah! Thankyou Richard :-) .. the one I've been waiting for.

[@larmoran4885]

so excited about the coming season lads, gonna have a binge on the auld back catalogue

[@eustacequinlank7418]

I've just adopted a small African Mountain Gorilla though, I can't afford to sponsor you right now, Richard. I could let him perish if you insist?

[@abegarfield7031]

Bad idea, adopting a Gorilla. They shit everywhere and one day, you're going to have to tell it your not it's real dad.

[@mikestoner1]

Definitely the best RHLSTP so far - superb and hilarious!

[@ukguitarnoodle]

cocaines?

[@Taquana26]

Fantastic interview because it was all over the place! Thanks!

[@idio-syncrasy]

Richard, there isn't a direction to evolution. 😉

[@Dave062YT]

Loved the new emergency question ,a real dilema ...

[@weavehole]

Didn't someone else on rhlstp get dumped whilst working at a fast food restaurant?

[@MrJambot]

+weavehole Jack Whitehall I think.

[@weavehole]

+MrJambot I thought you might be right so had a skim through. Couldn't find it though. Do you remember when it came up or what else they were talking about at the time?

[@huxleypig69]

Yeah, my dad was bald loooong before now, ha! In your face dad.

[@marquisdechomsky1369]

I remember you in 99 Richard. You were so boyish and fresh faced. You're still boyish and my favourite comedian. Happy 100 episodes!

[@RIXRADvidz]

holy swirling eddies of parallel universe!! i was just watching Richard Bacon on an ancient episode of Have I Got News For You.....and here he pops up for your 100th show!! you're about to experience a gravity wave...ready.....Rick is watching Richard interview Richard......donuts, kippers and bacon......I've brewed the coffee, let's have breakfast with RHLSTP!!!!

[@iconosphereuk]

Fuckin el, Richard. I do that with my birthdays these days too. I'm 10 days younger than you. In my head, I'm already 50. Trying to prepare myself mentally for it. It's not going well. I cannot accept it. It just does not compute. Aaaah well, eh.

[@paultowmy1877]

Absolutley 1st class. Belly laughing throughout. The awkward, yet beautiful honesty and the irony of things like "worse things going on in childrens TV at the time - priceless. Thanks Richard and Richard. ...and I have a dodgey squelchy eye aswell - bothered me for eons, but no more am I alone in the world on this most serious of matters that is now NOT serious. Bless you! Mr B: you are a dream of an intelligent funny (many more adjectives) man. Bravo. Real gutter on the visa hold up bullshit. Soldier on, ALWAYS being yourself and more good things will come to you. Of that you can be sure. One or two cunt comments on here. Let them blow over your heads (R&R) like a fart in a strong wind.

[@pipbeale]

Yes! Its up! I couldn't make the live show but really wanted to go. Bacon is (IMO) the best talk radio presenter around. He, politically and socially, is far far from me, but I think he is brill.

[@yesdcotchin]

I don't think even the most extreme fat-acceptance activists would make the same gross comparison as that tour manager

[@dankrafted]

I've loved the whole series, but trawling through these videos I can't find The Actor Kevin Eldon. Something I would very much enjoy whilst drinking a refreshing weak lemon drink.

[@anthonymccluskey7307]

Today is my daughter's 10th Birthday. Just the day to listen to a discussion about how annoying having kids is. Happy Birthday!

[@JoeJames616]

I have a s squeaky eye too

[@Haunted12100]

Yes a more waist of time.....sussed it........the title for Lord Sugars Book.......Grandulated !!!

[@voyspaceco]

These eggs have poo on them,, but i feeel they aren't good enough for this Bacon Sandwich

[@danshaggy292]

Richard Herring snorted 2 grams of Coca Cola bottles

[@HucksGamingchannel]

You looked tired in the intro dude.

[@Herring1967]

+Huck's Gaming channel Yes I was tired. I'd been up all night with the baby.

[@jamesmay6035]

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@Second0ne]

The whole of Nottingham is now a Tesco, can someone confirm this?

[@billallen2126]

whoop whoop! good job. and thank you, rich.

[@HucksGamingchannel]

That was actually quite enjoyable.

[@ChorltonOutlaw]

Cant believe Richard Bacon said that

[@OnChords]

congrats from germany!

[@fluorosco]

Jeff Bridges has let himself go

[@bigjaffa02]

"it's not filmed is it?" classic.

[@sirkristoferTV]

Great this is

[@billybillyson4351]

HMT Richard Bacon

[@HucksGamingchannel]

Sorry Mr Bacon, but as a 42 year old guy with a 4 year old daughter, i think being a dad is the best thing i ever did. I'm totally up for the challenge of giving her a better life than i ever did. So far so good, as it happens :)

[@abegarfield7031]

I wouldn't take 2 grams all at once, Rich.

[@chrisheartscape2472]

Re Huh Le Steh Puh!!!

[@leepeters9282]

I'd love to comment on this

[@chipmunks700]

My volume was up too high. I am now deaf.

[@huxleypig69]

Gavin and Stacey was shit in the 00's too. It was never funny.

[@madderhat5852]

25:10 Omg, I thought I was the only one who called them gherkins.

[@chrisofnottingham]

Ahh. Weak Ending...

[@terrytickler]

Shh

[@SpeakerMunkey]

Who TF is the guy in the audience who keeps agreeing with them? lol!
