What ever happened to Hale & Pace?

[George 1978]

Re: What ever happened to Hale & Pace?

The final episode of the first series is worth mentioning as well. The late Sir Bruce Forsyth gets two honourable mentions in this episode - firstly, in the Billy and Johnny puberty sketch... "and that means Bruce Forsyth had a puberty on his head".

And the second mention was during the golf sketch in the second half of that episode. The Two Rons mention Brucie in another episode as well.

The golf sketch was just after the Lumpkin-land sketch (which I thought was another Billy and Johnny sketch when I first saw it), and amazingly, Pamela Armstrong makes a cameo at the end of it.

I used to see Norman Pace some mornings as he dropped his daughter (if I remember correctly) at my old school.

Hale & Pace got lost somewhere in time and space after doing a Doctor Who. They are out there someplace with Sylvester McCoy, the Likely Lads and a load of cats.

Lol Yes they were in the Doctor Who story Survival. I'd forgotten about that. Think there are some outtakes out there somewhere.

I much preferred Smith and Jones:

Of course, I saw Norman Pace speaking with an American accent in Hairspray the Musical at the Liverpool Empire last year - a very different role to a lot of his Hale and Pace characters.
