Lily Linneker's Love Bureau - Richard Richard

Richie is a perpetually optimistic dimwit.
Richie is known to be a virgin (Eddie stole Richie's only ever "girlfriend", Ethel Cardue, and sometimes torments Richie with how he had sex with her), with a

microscopic penis

(which he sometimes mistakes for his only pube).
However in the episode 'Digger' he almost has sex with a wealthy foreign countess, Lady Natasha Letitia Sarah Jane Wellesley Obstromsky Ponsonsky Smythe Smythe Smythe Smythe Smythe Oblomov Boblomov Dob, after he and Eddie join a dating agency.
Towards the end of the episode, as Richie moves in to have sex with Lady Natasha he has an apparent heart attack, and is rushed to hospital. Whilst waiting for the ambulance Eddie has sex with Lady Natasha, as he did Ethel (although in the episode 'Terror' in series three, Eddie looks distinctly nervous when Richie informs him that the Devil drinks virgin's blood).
Richard also tends to believe that any woman who doesn't fancy him must be a lesbian. He is also unsure of the decade, claiming in the same episode (Carnival), that it is both the 80's and then 70's later on- with a bemused Eddie looking to the camera at both times. Richie usually wears a white shirt (tucked into his Y-fronts) and slim black tie (with tie clip), blue jeans (with a belt that clearly misses most of the loops) and has a light brown raincoat. He also occasionally wears brown trousers, held up with braces, and a red tie. His character is aspirational, pretentious, and occasionally a snob.
Richie's grandad was at the Battle of the Somme
Richie's auntie is very rich and dies in one episode with her nephew inheriting a large sum of money. Richie's dad, Oswald Richard, was an acquaintance of Adolf Hitler and betrayed Britain in World War II.
According to Richie, his dad moved in mysterious circles, because he had one leg shorter than the other. Richie's sister lives near Hammersmith and apparently looks just like her brother, albeit "with smaller jugs".
