That Was Then, This Is Now (radio series)

That Was Then, This Is Now (TWTTIN, /twəˈtʌtɪn/) was a BBC Radio 2 history based comedy sketch show co-written and presented by Richard Herring.

As with This Morning With Richard Not Judy and later, As It Occurs To Me, Herring made the show's title in to an unwieldy acronym, which was repeated by the audience every time it was said.

The section featured the jingle "It's time to find out who got wed, bred or dead, with TV's Emma Kenned... dy".

Mr. Morgan was Richard's old history teacher and through the first series had a breakdown after declaring his marriage a sham and his love for an ex-pupil in the first episode.

His obsessions included Star Trek, the Nazis and conspiracy theories and unlike Mr. Morgan, he featured as a semi-regular character throughout all three series.

In series two, after finding out the Reilly had married, Herring got engaged to Kennedy for a bet, not realising that due to BBC compliance, all TV and radio marriages had been made legally binding.

The band went by a different name every week, each based around a historical figure or event and would be introduced and "Christian Reilly and..." Series 1 aired on BBC Radio 2, Saturdays at 1:00pm.
