Friday 13th March 2026 - Faeces and Thyme (Time). Rich and Ally are back after a brief break to bring you all the Roman poop news that you could want.

Wednesday 11th March - Crossing the Rubicon. Rich and Ally are back for the shoddiest Newsround yet, as they look at the worst person in the world, a man who cloned his beloved pet. Was it a waste of money when animals reproduce for free? Should you put all your eggs in one basket? What about a ventriloquist dummy/human hybrid? It's all utter nonsense today. They can't all be gold.

Tuesday March 10th - Braintree FC Water Tank Tribute. It's a late night Newsround, cos Rich has been too busy all day to do it, but he didn't want you to miss the big news about Keith Flint's Satanic Churchyard Bench. Also some theological discussions about Satan and a nice song about starting fires.

Monday 9th March 2026 - Ayatollah Khamanei Closer. Newsround is back with nipples on and we're looking at the very serious topic of presidential assassination and whether it's the right way to go for a democratically elected president.

Friday 6th March 2026 - Worse Than Hitler. Richard uses Newsround as a forum for his petty grievances and then uses today's newsround to chat about am historical figures that younger viewers may not have heard of. Did Hitler have one ball?

Tuesday March 3rd 2026 - House of Boobs. Rich and Ally are back with all the big news. Today a regime has been toppled and a vacuum remains, but who will fill it and will it be Rich and Ally. Surely after doing so many of these, so brilliantly, it can't be long before TV comes knocking. Unless it's all part of a bigger show already. I know you know what I mean.

March 2nd 2026 - Dental Caries. In another tightly scripted Newsround we cover the big news that has broken over the weekend whilst we've been away, whether Jim Carrey is the real Jim Carrey or someone pretending to be Jim Carrey and why are they pretending and what is wrong with dim internet idiots that think anything like this could be true? I think that's all that's been happening. You'll all b...

This is the only inde...

February 26th 2026 - Quality Sperm. Rich and Ally are back talking about what month of the year sperm is at its friskiest. The lame stream media don't dare touch stuff like this. Unlike the scientists who put together these reports.

Wednesday 25th February 2026 - State of the Galactic Union. President Trump has done the longest State of the Union ever and Rich and Ally are here to fact check his claims.

Tuesday 24th February 2026 - Worse Than Bin Laden. Having missed the scoop of the millennium, Newsround is back in a 30 degree studio to look at the story of the arrests of Mandleson and some other guy whose name keeps changing.

Tuesday 17th February - Pikachu. Rich and Ally are back to give you all the main stories and whilst some news outlets might be giving solemn obituaries for the great Jesse Jackson, our team have uncovered news of a very expensive Pokemon card, which Rich feels might not be worth the price tag, which I think we can all agree is the story of the day. Has all his (and your) suffering for his art been...

February 16th 2026 - Area 51. Rich and Ally are back with all the news that's fit to talk about in a puppet based Newsround. Today Barack Obama has revealed that he thinks there are aliens, but have they already visited earth? And what do they look like? Is it even possible for them to get this far? With a report LIVE from Area 51 in America somewhere.

12th February 2026 - Tomato Sauce Science. Rich and Ally are back with some of your comments about the new titles. Well suck it. They discuss new evidence that suggests the Turin Shroud may not be really the shroud of Christ, for all those of you who thought this was wrapped up (no pun intended) already. Do we need evidence to believe in Jesus and isn't it more important to follow his philosophy?...
