Here are 40 reasons why Richard Madely shouldn't be allowed out. Ever. And if, by the end, you're still in any doubt about the extent of this man's weirdness, there's a quiz at the end of the article that invites you to distinguish between Alan Partridge and Richard Madely quotes. My own score was worryingly poor. Good luck.
