===Move to Watch===
Richard and Judy began hosting a new topical chat show on [[UKTV]]'s digital channel, [[Watch (TV channel)|Watch]], after seven years at Channel 4. The programme, ''Richard and Judy's New Position'', premiered on 7 October 2008 and aired weeknights at 8:00 PM. The first episode was viewed by 200,000 people, but viewership declined over time, with the second episode attracting 53,000 viewers and numbers eventually falling to 11,000. This contrasted with their previous show on Channel 4, which had garnered up to 2.5 million viewers.<ref>{{cite news |date=30 November 2008 |title=Turning off Richard and Judy |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/media/tv-radio/turning-off-richard--judy-1041653.html |newspaper=The Independent}}</ref> Due to the decline in viewership, it was announced on 8 May 2009 that the show would be discontinued in July.
