ichard Madeley and Judy Finnigan will return to Channel 4 for a new show next month.
The couple will be back on the network with a teatime programme for the first time in over a decade as they shine a light on all things books from the comfort of their own home during the UK\'s current coronavirus lockdown.
\'Richard & Judy: Keep Reading and Carry On\' will air for five nights at 5.30pm from May 4th, and the husband and wife duo will be joined remotely by authors and celebrity guests to discuss new releases and share their top reads.
Richard said: "It is no secret that Judy and I are avid readers and we are excited to return to Channel 4 to share what we love with viewers."
The pair run their own nationwide book club, and they are excited to be back on screen.
Judy added: "Books can transport you to incredible places from the comfort of your sofa and so there is no better time to share our top picks for lockdown reads and hear from viewers, celebrities and authors about the books that have helped them whilst staying at home."
They previously hosted early evening chat show \'Richard and Judy\' on Channel 4 from 2001 until 2008.
Ian Katz, Channel 4\'s Director of Programmes, described the pair as "the perfect" people to to help the UK through lockdown.
He said: "Richard and Judy are both much loved Channel 4 faces and the country\'s most trusted arbiters of what\'s worth reading - the perfect duo to get us through the remainder of lockdown with the help of a few good books."
