Being the man who gave this blog it’s name, I’m so glad to be back and I would like to begin by thanking everybody for bearing my absence with such good grace. It’s been a difficult time in the life of this blog but I hope we can now find our smiles again. This is especially true given that the world beyond the Real goes on. Celebrity life rarely wilts, never ceases to amaze, and is always prone to a surprise or two; a fact which wasn’t lost on me when Bill Oddie attacked me with the serrated edge of his stuffed pelican last week. A disagreement about the feeding habits of the puffin led to the fight but it was a relief when it was settled. I am wiser for the experience, less likely to confuse sprats and sardines. Life, I suppose, has a way of surprising us and helping us; strengthening us even when it looks like it’s trying to bring us down. These last seven days have helped me to discover many things about myself and I intend to work even harder and promote my cause more widely. No longer will I write in obscurity. Literary agencies across London will soon have to check their foundations after they suffer the impact of my latest manuscript landing on their doorsteps. Producers will soon feel the force of my ideas. Politicians will quake at the very mention of my name.
Ladies and gentlemen of the blogosphere: Richard Madeley is back. And this time it's personal.

Woohoo! Glad to have you back!
I'm glad you're back with positive thoughts! Your father is getting better! But remember, if you have worries, no matter what about, blog them too. The blogosphere is here for you:) xxx
“Literary agencies across London will have to check their foundations ....Producers will feel the force of my ideas. Politicians will quake at the very mention of my name... And this time it's personal.”
Wow...!
This type of strategy is in fact a classic blueprint of the very theory favoured by WW2 generals, that massive aerial bombing could win the war...
...give them hell, Richard - take no prisoners!
Hurrahs (and excited owl hoots) all round! Welcome back!
Barbara, it's good to be back.
Black Cat, thanks for all the support. ;o)
Selena, that's exactly the model I intend to adopt. I've had it with understatement and hoping that people will read my blog. I'm now going to kick down doors and demand that the deal is done today or I'm walking to a different publisher.
Nige, the owl hoots have helped us all along. It's good to be back.
You've managed to shake off that other chap that was posting in your place, then? Give him my love, he's having a bad time.
But now you're back, I wouldn't mind knowing what you think about the two DorkTalk videos that Mr Fry has put up on YouTube. Was he filming in your house? I thought I saw Judy's trombone hanging in the background.
Lola, yes he has had a bad time of it. Poor man. Lacks the luck of celebrity. Even Judy with her knee has been having a better time.
As for Stephen's videos, I was there in the room as he filmed himself walking around the house without his pants on. Luckily, you don't get to see any of that on the video.
