Discussing his television habits, Richard explained that he does not spend a lot of time in front of the small screen, but does like to watch big sports matches.
He explained: "I don't like to miss any big tennis or rugby matches and I enjoy watching kite surfing, but above all I like to keep active.
"I really don't spend too much time in front of the box and if I ever watch TV during downtime, I prefer wildlife documentaries by David Attenborough or programmes about space by Brian Cox," Richard added.
Richard revealed his wife Joan has control of the TV remote
The 66-year-old added that his wife of 28 years, Joan Templeman, has control of the TV.
He revealed: "She often chooses, because she is usually more up to date on the best shows than me.
"We both loved The Night Manager, which was spot on for quiet evenings in," Richard added.
