Probably the most prolific emailer to the Xfm Shows, Richard Anderson is described as the show's biggest fan, despite all of his emails being of a derogatory nature. There is some suggestion that he is a fictional creation of Ricky and Steve. The first ever email from Anderson was read out on the 02 November 2002 show. When discussing what Anderson might look like, Steve said that he imagines him to be "slightly older, with a beard".

Richard Anderson's emails

  • 02 November 2002: "Ricky, your show is appalling. Are you actually aware you're on the radio or has someone just secretly stuck a microphone on you?"

  • 09 November 2002: "What actually is the point of your show? Is it to confuse, irritate, depress or what?"
  • 30 November 2002: "Dear Ricky, sorry for not tuning recently, only I've been busy watching a puddle evaporate. Glad to hear you haven't tinkered with the show's winning formula by trying to introduce any quality into it."

  • 08 February 2003: "Ricky, I'm lazy, I talk nonsense, I'm badly organized, and I believe in ghosts. Can I have a job working on your show?"
