British Comedy Series starring Gareth Hale and Norman Pace.
Hale and Pace met while in Teacher training and bonded. They began performing comedy stand-up to supplement their teachers wages.
After recording a single on-off special for London Weekend Television in Christmas 1986, they were given a full series in 1988.
Their relationship with ITV lasted a decade, with most of their programmes going out around 10pm on a Sunday.
Their most famous comic creations are the bouncers The Two Rons - also known as The Management; and children's TV presenters Billy (Hale) and Johnny (Pace).
A number of their TV sketches caused controversy, especially a scene performed when they pretended to have microwaved a cat.
In 1996, Hale and Pace recorded several episodes of a series called: Hale and Pace Down Under. Loosely based on their adventures while touring doing live stand-up gigs in Australia.
According to the BBC website, there were ten series of the show.

- The Bottom Line: "Bring it back!"05/25/07 07:30am | report abuse
Unashamedly funny but not for fickle, lily-livered comedy snobs. ...Continue »
- The Bottom Line: "I don't get it"06/04/06 01:02am | report abuse
Worse movie ever. Well actually that's being very harsh. After all, I'm sure the production company had put a lot of effort in producing this and trashing it like I am doing right now seems downright unfair. ...Continue »

Abysmal retrogressive show that aimed at the lowest common denominator. Weak, even by ITV standards. ...Continue »
